My best friend is gorgeous and funny and she really is just overall a great person. I know that I am not ugly and I think I would be confident in my appearance if I did not know her. Saying (or typing that) is a huge step for me fyi because I tend to refuse to accept that I have failed in any way... bad habit. When I'm with her I constantly feel my looks and my personality are inadequate because I am not as outgoing and funny and just easy to get along with as she is. Don't get me wrong...She does nothing to make me feel this way she always tries to make me feel good and is not conceited. Sounds perfect right?I shouldn't be insecure because I have an amazing boyfriend(as does she) and my good group of friends and in some ways, such as school, I guess I am better than her a little. But that's not important to me.
Recently, we gave a guy our number when he asked for it (just as friends...we do have boyfriends!) and he has been texting her but has yet to text me. I sometimes hate myself.

Me too, it's strange how I go out with friends to have fun and get back home having a worse self esteem than before. I can't say I am jealous of my best friend's looks, but I am feeling too common when I have a green eyed out going person next to me. She always gets all the attention, I feel left behind. I noticed that it feels better sometimes when she's not there. I don't understand why that happens, since I have nothing against her.
It's true that this guy may be more interested in your friend, or could' ve asked your number too just so that she won't get the idea that he likes her.
I think it is possible for you to change yourself, because you have the will to. Just think, what do you need to change?
Maybe you don't need to change anything, and just have to sort things out with yourself and feel good with what you have...
I am not sure that was helpful -but good luck...

Focus on what makes you special and unique. Find some of your assets and good qualities about yourself.
