Online friend
Hi everyone! I would like some advice.
I have always wanted friends that shared my passion, so years ago i made a twitter account to connect to people. I had few conversations but it never grew into anything, mostly cause the other person didn't seem interested i guess.
Then 3 years ago I finally started talking to this girl and we became close friends till now. Since i found her, I could share my opinions on our common interest or just talk to her about anything and i found that enough, so i didn't try to tweet much anymore or find other friends (mostly cause i found difficult to make them). But she always had other people she talked to that became her friends.
Then I started following this other person and they followed me back but followed also my friend's account. My friend and this other person started commenting on eo tweets and became friends. I find myself jealous of this. It's not like i want my friend to only talk to me, but i just get these ugly feelings that make me think ' she likes talking to others more than me/ i am not funny enough/ i dont have an amazing personality that make people want to talk to me and they prefer others'.
I don't have these feelings 24/7 , i just get triggered sometimes. For example my friend never remembered my birthday in all three years we have been talking, but she remembered her new friend's, sent her a heartfelt message, and from what i understood she also wanted to send them a gift. I know She didn't forget on purpose, She sctually remembered a month after😂,she apologized and felt very bad , so i never got mad or anything but i did feel sad and like i'm not important enough. I feel like at the end people always prefer others to me and even if i love talking to her, this isn't matched someway? For ex to remember her birthday at the beginning i wrote it on an app that gives me notification so i wouldn't forget, or if she tells me something i try to remember as much as i can in any way and it just hurts when the other person doesn't care enough to do the same. I mean i see she also watches things with this other friend or open up about something that never told me about and i feel sad about this.
I want to make sure i don't intend to control her like a possessive friend cause i'm not like that, i am happy that she has other people to talk to and feel comfortable with and i don't want this to change, that's why i've never told her any of this. Im not even sure myself what i want, probably just someone who prioritize me like i do? But this isn't her problem,but mine. I just would like to stop feeling like this. I know most of this is because of my own insecurities and low self esteem, anxiety etc so i should start working on myself. I know if i feel good about myself and have some confidence, i wouldn't feel like this, but my main problem is that i don't know how to😂
it's not that big of a deal but it's something bothering me for a while and that's why i decided to talk about it here, maybe someone could share their point of view or if they felt like this too.
Thank you for reading.

the last paragraph of your post shows you are ready to grow in this ...
of course most of us would like a person who prioritize us but often that is short lived and you can grow your self esteem and confidence in that there are many people out there like this friend who will see you and appreciate you ... but life is at a constant movement and sometimes a person has other people or items and slowly drifts out of your daily life.
Look at all the growth and items this person brought into your world and build on that.
