What your describing is Jealousy
Here is the meaning -
Jealousy is an emotion, and the word typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something of great personal value, particularly in reference to a human connection. Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger, resentment, inadequacy, helplessness and disgust.

Good points 1968.
I personally believe that definitely insecurity, fear/jealousy/anger/resentment, etc. are definitely closely related to narcissism, and that narcissism is a front created as a sort of coping mechanism to handle intense negative emotions. The only thing is that that is all it does, it helps you cope, it doesn't fix anything. Fixing would probably be quite unpleasant and require some deep digging within, but well worth it. I hope a psychiatrist can give you some tools & exercises to work with that would help you.
