How can I keep my self esteem up when I'm with my friend?

Question

My friend is really pretty, and gets a lot of attention from the guys, any guy, that walks by us. I'm not being petty or anything, but whenever that happens I litterally feel like the ugly duckling beside her. I'm already very self conscious about my weight, I mean I'm not fat, at all really, but I still get self conscious. And I love my friend like a sister, but I hate going out in public with her because every single guys eyes turn to her. And the other day in the mall she even said "I love going places with you, I always feel so pretty." Meaning she loves it because guys compare her to me and think she's hot. Any other place without her I get normal glances form guys, but when with her, all eyes are on her, and I'm sick of it now. What can I do to raise my self esteem when I'm with her and get some of those guy's eyes on me?

Answer 1

What she said was very rude and condescending. Maybe she's not truly a good friend for you. but if you insist on hanging out with her, then maybe try a new type of clothing, or hairstyle, or makeup so that guys will look at you more.

Answer 2

Hi,

Stop comparing yourself with her.

Perhaps she looks good, but its not beauty that counts.

It's all about personality, who you are what you are.

Then the guys are finished looking at your friend, they will come to you because you have character, because you are a caring person.

How to esteem yourself? just be yourself!!
