Jealousy issues
I have a boyfriend, but lately my sister and best friend are going out with guys and when they talk me about how amazing and how much fun they’re having, I feel really sad and jealous and I don’t know why. My boyfriend is very caring, but he’s also a perfectionist and hates when things go wrong, and he’s also not that outgoing as I am. Why do I feel like this? I shouldn’t! And also I see like my sister always surrounding herself with outgoing fun guys. I don’t get it 😅

When it comes to emotions there is no shouldn't. Humans are going to feel the way they are going to feel even if we logically or culturally shouldn't.
I think the root of what your feeling is fear.
Your relationship with your boyfriend is probably something you feel gives you value, gives you meaning. Your sister and best friend going out with other guys and talking about how much fun they are having is making you question how much value your relationship actually has which makes you feel threatened because it's something that gives you validation and your afraid to think about what it means if the one thing that's meant to give you meaning actually isn't.
It's also probable that your relationship with your current boyfriend is incomplete in certain aspects and your seeing the things your missing in your relationship with him, in the relationships your sister and best friend are describing and you don't want to admit those things because your relationship with your boyfriend is supposed to be perfect.
That's my analysis of what may be going on :)
