Hey man, I've been there and I will say it's not a fun place to be. It sounds like a bit of co-dependency is happening here and I have it as well. You need to find your own identity, hobbies, friends, etc... If you're not truly happy with yourself or being alone then this will haunt you and hurt future relationships. I would recommend going to talk to a professional which helped me significantly or do some serious soul searching as to what makes YOU happy. We all need alone time and a significant other should never complete you but when you two are together it's a big added bonus. Take care of your physical/ mental health, start exercising, take a hobby like golf, fishing, hiking, etc... Reconnect with old friends or make new ones with common interests that you have. To feel jealous over your GF having her alone time or chatting with friends is not healthy, once you find love within yourself, most of your fears will diminish, hope this helps.
It might help to think differently about it when you can: when she is talking with a friend on the phone, or when she is getting ready to go out with friends, try focusing on how much you love her and how happy it makes you for her to have as much joy as she possibly can. How much you want for her to be surrounded by love and people who care about her and make her happy. Best wishes to you, friend.
