Jealous of my perfect friend and need help!!

I’m extemely jealous of my best friend.

-She is pretty, very pretty -she is in all honors classes and is so smart -She is an amazing gymnasts and wicked good at sports -All the guys like her -She has a perfect boyfriend -She has the perfect body

Its jsut to muh to stand next to her anymore. I constantly find myself comparing me to her. I mean all the guys like her and she is so pretty and smart and good at everything. And she has a great family and can afford a ton of stuff and she is funny and I jsut hate being next to her because I feel so useless and I feel like the terrible props next to a talented actress if that makes sense! I mean everything she does seems so awesome and than there is me. Semi-smart, I play volleyball but I’m not like amazingly strong or anyhting. And none of the guys like me and I’m not exactly the prettiest doll on the shelf and itsjust so frustrating…how can I not feel this way!?

Answer #1

Be yourself and be happy for your friend as a good friend would - both of you have strengths and weaknesses, no doubt there are areas where you are better - the jealousy is like a cancer, it can eat you up - don’t allow it !! - you are a unique person, celebrate it…Happy Thanksgiving !!

Answer #2

Love yourself for who you are

you never know what goes on in her life for all you know you she could not

have this “perfect” life you see.

Answer #3

its impossible to ignore your feelings tword her. I know what youre going through. envy is just a fact of life. you could either deal with it and ignore your differences or envy her forever and end up hating her

Answer #4

I know how it feels to feel usless..its the same way with my bestfriend..but then you just have to think to urself..u and this girl must have things in common and she must like you otherwise you wouldnt be friends. so just remeber everyone has their strengts and urs dont need to be the same as hers.

Answer #5

well. why would you want to ruin her life, if you want to be like her, than ask her how and do everything perfect!!! do everything she does. I tried all that and well, she was a perverted as*

Answer #6

I know what you’re all talking about. My best friend is like, the coolest girl I know, she has had straight A’s since 6th grade, and has so many student of the month certificates on her wall. Makes me want to puke. She has her flaws, she’s not absolutely perfect. But what I have to say is this: Don’t ever compare yourself to someone else. I don’t know why girls do it. I hate girls who think they have to do this or that to make their friend happy, or to feel prettier.

Everyone is different for a reason. And I’m sure you’re just as beautiful as your friend, but we’re our own worst critics. And funny thing is, I have a best friend named Samie who is like, the most gorgeous girl at my school, all the guys agree with me when I say that, then lately I’ve come to find she’s jealous of me and thinks I’m the prettiest, and guys agree with her too. THAT SURPRISED ME. She could be jealous of you in any aspect. Don’t feel like a prop next to an actress, ever. She’s not perfect, no one is.
