I am jealous of my friends. I don't want to be a b**ch, but I am always so envious of their everything. They seem perfect and gorgeous, with lots of other cool friends and I just wish I could be them. I try to be nice and everything but they just seem so perfect to my nothing. Is this normal?
You obviously think very highly of your friends so it's good that you surround yourself with people you admire. Comparing yourself with them will never bring you any happiness, only discontentment.
Instead of comparing yourself with them, have you ever considered improving your confidence by appreciating yourself for all of the good that's in you and accepting that you are not a perfect being? Count your own blessings and not theirs.
You might see them in a perfect light but your friends are not perfect, nobody is. They have their own flaws and struggles in life, but they probably don't draw attention to them so that you (and others) won't notice. They also probably have a healthy amount of confidence which manifests itself in their attitude and allows them to snuff out self-defeating thoughts.
