Well, you're very sensitive and have a low self-image and lack confidence in yourself. Yes, it takes one to know one. I suffer from this malady as well, and, at times, it can be a very tortuous world that I live in.
There really is no short answer on this and an endless supply of books in the self-help section in the library or at Barnes or Borders. In short, work on self-love, honest humility (being honest with yourself and your limitations) and try to see things as they truly are without going to extremes, i.e., "all-or-nothing-thinking." In other words, instead of thinking nobody likes me just because so-and-so frowned at me or didn't include me in her conversation with another girl, try to keep things in context and perspective. Like: Hm, Emily didn't speak to me today, maybe she's not feeling well or is having a bad day. Or, perhaps Emily has a problem with feeling insecure and her way of dealing with it is by trying to bring others down (especially the ones she feels threatened by) as a means of elevating herself. But, on the other hand, my friends Mary and Ruth talk to me and value me and my ideas. So I can choose to dwell on the fact that two people do value me as opposed to sulking over the one insignificant person who has something "stuck in her craw."
And if all else fails, remember, "God doesn't create no junk."

I am sorry you are feeling this way. Low self esteem is probably driving your feelings of inadequacy. The hard part of growing up is learning to love yourself. Try writing down on a piece of paper what you like about yourself and then focus on those great qualities. I am sure you have wonderful traits that make you special. The truth is there is always someone prettier or smarter, even supermodels get jealous sometimes; the trick is turning away from those negative feelings and focusing on the beauty that you possess.

You are taking the road down to low self esteem. If you stop trying to be more like them, then you will find yourself way more popular. Remember, the pretty girls now are usually not very pretty when they get older!

you need to believe in yourself - find your motivation.
Everyone has someone that they look up to - but just be happy for them and know that you have good qualities as well.
Make a list of all your achievements and goals or try lifting your mood by doing the things you love to do - shopping, eatting ice cream - whatever : }

No body is liked by everyone! You should stick with just a few real "homies", and "talk" to just a couple of girls. Don't try to please everybody, thats an impossible task and you will feel increasingly more worthless as you attempt it and fail.

No offense, yet she sounds tremendously shallow and prefer a slut to me. So, my first opinion may well be to ditch her for a greater valuable chum, yet I comprehend that it's not as basic because it sounds. If she does not know that she's approximately to bypass out with the guy you like, then tell her. yet whilst she DOES know, tell her at present up what she's doing incorrect. I recommend, adult men could nicely be discouraged too! If this lady is merely courting everyone, one after yet another, nicely then valuable the guy she likes shouldn't invite her out. He desires to acknowledge that he's particular, and alongside with your chum like that, there is not any way. So merely have a communicate together with her that tells her the way you sense. i comprehend it sounds cheesy, yet heavily, attempt it. that is worked lots out between me and my superb chum. yet whilst she is going forward and is going out with him in any case, then go away her. If a chum isn't prepared to try this one factor for her, then she isn't nicely worth it. She does not even sound like a chum to me. desire I helped! (:

It sounds like you have low self esteem. Try to look in the good things in you that no one else has. That way, you'll feel good about yourself. Also it's almost impossible to get everyone to like you. You'll never please everyone. Just be who you are.

Impossible.
The more people that like you, the more you get talked about.
