Best friend...?

Question

I need help! I'm always in the shadow of my best friend! She's the hot one, she attracts all the attention, people DREAM of becoming friends with her! I just happen to be her best friend. My problem is - most of the time she's making me look like a loser on purpose.. If i'm trying to make a joke everyone looks at me weird because either she already said that or she didn't like it... She understands what im going through, i tried talking to her but she simply isnt me to feel like i do! I know it sounds harsh, but she actually doesn't mean to do those things, sometimes she's just showing off! All the time my other friends tell me that im copying her behavior, but im not - they just admire her so much they seek something negative in all my actions. Most of the people i met through her think im weird bc/ they compare me to her.. I like talking to her but when other people are around I feel left out. Can someone help me - tell me what I should do! I have to find a way to get some attention!

Other people always prefer her to me, ... All of my other friends try hanging out with her more than with me, i feel like they never w8 for me or care what i think... When im trying to be myself the pressure that im worse than her is put on my shoulders - i just feel like I shouldnt say anything bc/ some one for sure will make fun of me. People remember every time I fall, every time I screw something up - that makes me be clumzy more bc/ im trying to watch out for what im doing. My friend is the best but sometimes i feel sad that ive met her - b4 that i had a totally different behavior and my life has changed since. Most of the time i feel really good being around her bc/ than i know that im her friend, and noone can stop that by looking at me weird or saying something about me... My best friend isn't one of the "populars" - or at least she isnt hanging out w/ them. She is a really good person. She feels comfortable w/ everyone,but every time that goes against me. I JUST FEEL LEFT OUT

My goodness! I went through the same thing. After some amount of time, things changed. Give it some time. Whatever you do, do not try to be like her; eventually people will get "bored" of her, and they'll notice you.

Another thing is, don't worry about what these "mean" people think of you. If they don't like you, for you, it is their lost and they really arent your friends if they think so negative of you.
