Not at all! They are in lines of sight which are close to each other and they are all so far away that they do not appear to move very much relative to one another. But in most constellations some stars are likely to by hundreds, if not thousand, of times as far away than the nearest stars. For example, Proxima Centauri, in the constellation Centaurus is approx 4.3 light years away (the nearest star to us), while the same constellation also contains Krzeminski's star, at a distance os 26000 ly. Furthermore, an object which we think of as a star can be a galaxy: Centaurus contains the Centaurus Cluster which is approx 160 million ly away.

How does a galaxy differ from the constellation?
The constellations are apparent from Earth as groups of a few stars (they may be at very different distances from ech other in space but from right here they appear relatively close together. Galaxies are billions of stars held together by gravity. There are only a few galaxies that can be seen with out a telescope and the brightest is M31 (or NGC 224) Andromeda (apparently inside the constellation called Andromeda but at a distance of bout 2.5 million light years).
