My sister and I are really close but she's prettier than i am. She is what you would call gorgeous while I am simply pretty. Whenever we go out, everyone looks at her and I am just ignored. Even when I introduce her to people I've known for years, they remark that she's just soo pretty. A few months ago, we were out on the town and we were standing next to each other. A guy came over and approached her saying that she's just soo beautiful. Also, she dates more and men are constantly hounding her down. Anyway, I am constantly stricken with envy and wish that I looked more like that, even though I am pretty as well. The main distinction between us are her boobs. She has D cups and I have a full B cup/C cup. They are just not as spectacular as hers... and I have braces for another 3mths. Anyway, how do I get over this constant envy?

I lived this way through all of my teenage years.
My sister was prettier, smarter, and any guy I liked and invited over was more interested in her once they saw her.
Time passes. In the end, you must realize that the bond between sisters is stronger than any attraction between a male and a female (unless that male and female are married.)
Turns out that my sister is still in my life and none of the guys that I liked that turned her way (which by the way--she was not interested in any of them--so they lost twice) are in either of our lives.
Don't take your envy out on your sister. She is the one who is going to stand beside you for the rest of your life.
Perhaps if you confessed your jealousy to your sister, she could actually help you overcome this negative emotion.

Would you still envy your sister if she was raped because she was just so beautiful. Or would you be sadden by your envy and for her.
1.Accept yourself As You Are
2.Keep Earthly Gains in Perspective
3.Set Your Own Goals Based on Your Convictions
4.Learn the Joy of Giving
5.Seek Heavenly Things
I'm not a super model but am fairly pretty. My sister is like you, constantly telling me she wishes she was prettier. She is still very unhappy to this day and can't settle with even a decent man. She is too caught up in herself(Self-Oriented). It has made her a bitter person. But you know what when I was younger I envyed things about her too. She never excepted this as a good thing. Never has my sister been raped. And I am glad for that. It does alot of damage and takes yrs to over come. Just remember guys in general are hard to live with. When it comes down to it; looks are the last thing they will think about if they feel hurt, angry, lonely, impatient, etc.
How many of those guys that your sister dated were worth living eternity with. Not to many or she wouldn't still be dating. It must be frustrating not to find one yet that is.
