Super rich better looking best friend?

Question

okay my best friend is really fun and i love spending time with her.

but she's that girl in high school with the big white car, nice clothes, i've been shopping with her and she's the type that goes to louis vuitton and tiffany and buys things without asking the price. she always gets heads turning when we are out together. like i feel like she has everything going for her, she is even a well rounded person and is super kind and really fun. what do i do to step out of her shadow? please help mee, school starts in a week i want to change things up for my senior year.

Answer 1

just dont follow in her footsteps. even if you dont notice it, you may be trying to be more like her, dressing like her, acting like her... you should find someone whos more equal to you, but not losing this friend at the same time. i understand that you guys are close friends so dont let that go. be who you are and dont compare yourself to her.  

Answer 2

ya, i know what your talking about, that girl with her makeup and hair done perfectly, and the amazingly expensive jeans and designer bags.

you really just have to step your social life up a bit. always try to make new friends, and talk to people. you'll realize that you can be the one in the spotlight even if your not the one in the expensive clothes or with the nice car. all you have to do is command all attention by keeping your shoulders back and your chin up. walk with total confidence, and always look like you know what your doing... even if you don't.  

Answer 3

talk to her

its the only way

even if she can do nothing to help its good to let her no how u feel

if she really cares bout u she will do everything in her power to help u

   I dont really no how u can step out of her shadow. the only ovious way would be to like stand out in some way but u dnt want to do that just to make ppl notice u. I say that you should just do wateva the heck u want and not care if ppl only notic her but ive never been in ur situation so its not like I can really help a lot. im srry. but I still say u need to talk to her she will be glad to help. just tel lher the truth abou thow you think she over powers u and that u walk in her shadow but dnt make her feel bad. just be honest!

good luck

PS thnks for the answer!

:D

Answer 4

If she's your best friend, you can trust her.  She won't do anything to hurt you.  To step out of her shadow, try doing something without her.  Like a new sport or club.  Volleyball, field hockey, or even something like key club.  Do something that YOU are good at, but don't take her along with you.  People will see you without her next to you, so there's no chance at comparison.

Answer 5

be happy for your "best" friend, don't try to compete with her.

Answer 6

do what makes you happy.  you shouldn't have to compete w/one another.  that's called jealousy :O

Answer 7

Let the personality shine!  Sure, the hot one is going to be the one turning my head, but not until I meet the still good looking one with the personality.

I'm really tired. I don't know if that made any sense.

Answer 8

   You can visit fancie thrift stores (that only carry brand name clothes) to  get similar clothes at much lower prices. Plus jewelry  just don't let anyone know. Drive out of town if necessary. And be glad that your friend is still down to earth and likes you for you. Yahoo Answers will clue you in on hair styles, make up, and colors that will look good on you. Exercise and eat wholesome foods, get your hair done, plus nails, You should look just as good as your friend. Having things doesn't make her any better than you. Having a nice smile, and being happy means allot, and of course a good person!

Answer 9

become more aggressive or more attractive, pick one.

Answer 10

I feel that you wish you were more like her, and maybe you are (deep down inside) a bit jealous. You may not live a lifestyle that your friend lives, but don't worry or fuss over it. You seem like you respect and like her for who she is- "well rounded, super kind, really fun", and if you want people to notice you more, believe me, it's better that they know you for who you are than what you can buy or wear! Be yourself!  

Answer 11

Since this is your senior year, do something people will remember you by. Change your wardrobe completely and try to get clothes that no one wears (i mean in a good way) try shopping at vintage stores, or buy alot of stuff online. Change your look, if your hair is super long cut it short, and dye it! Also try being more well rounded, join a team or club.

Answer 12

Im guessing you're from nyc. Then you dont want to go to my school, most of the school is rich. Just dont go to Dalton High School, they are the snobbish kind of rich. And about you, you can try going to an outlet for discount prices. I usually go to Woodberry if you heard about it. And get nicer makeup, not the cheap drugstore kind.  But dont just go into sephora. Research it.
