I suppose I've just been feeling kind of lonely lately. I live with my best friend, and she's started seeing someone. She's happy and adorably twitterpated, and I want to be excited for her, but it's hard. For one, we do everything together, and now she spends a lot of time with him so it's a weird adustment for me. And the other side of it is that seeing her do such sweet and simple things like walk down the street and hold his hand reminds me of all the things distance makes impossible. And my SO has been pretty busy lately, so we haven't been able to talk as often as we'd like to. The stuff he's busy with is mostly just plans with friends, but we have an agreement that we won't blow off our friends or give up time with them for eachother, so I don't feel upset or like he is choosing them over me. I just feel like a bad person because I sit at home and see my best friend get to do all the things I'd like to and think about how I'd like to be hanging out with him AND his friends. We make time for the two of us, but I wish we could be more a part of eachother's lives. So I guess I'm looking for advice about how I can let go of all that a bit and try to just be happy for my friend and join in her excitement and be happy for her without feeling sorry for myself.

Well I have no idea how much you and your SO are talking but maybe you should think about increasing your talking time over the phone/skype even by an hour, I think that would help. And you should try to go out and do things without your roommate if possible. If you are on campus, look for some clubs to join ( like knitting or music, sports etc) that is one of the fun ways to meet new friends
