Is it normal to always feel crushed?

Well where do I begin. I don't really have much self confidence in my appearance. My best friend seems to think that she is really pretty and so do the girls and boys in my grade. However most adults, even close friends to her tell me that I am prettier. A photographer once told me that I am stunning but to be honest I don't know what to think. When I first moved up to elementary school all of the boys rated the girls and I got a 10. Now they don't even look at me. I don't think that my personality is the problem, I am nice enough and keep myself to myself. However my friend cakes herself in makeup and always attracts attention in a bad way. Is it normal to be resentful?

    You're really jealous of your friend! Maybe you should be happy that she's getting attention. You should be glad for her, if you were her true friend.

    I know that you want attention too, but you aren't really motivating people to talk to you by keeping to yourself all the time.

      Sorry, but that is bullshit, how is attracting attention the wrong way a good thing?

      As for the person with the question..

      As a male myself in school the boys will always go to the girls the can get laid off without putting much effort to, no matter what they look like, you friend sounds like the typical school bike.

      Dont worry and be happy you dont have boyfriends just because your a easy lay.

    How old are you? If you got rated highly and everyone says you are pretty then it is probably true. If you make yourself more emotionally/socially available (ie: talk to people, be friendly) then you'll get more attention.

    you don't want the kind of attention your friend is getting, do you? she might get the attention because it's easier to approach the less pretty girl.

    believe me, if a photographer told you that you were stunning, then i'd believe that you are. after all, why would it have been said if it wasn't true. the photographer has no reason to lie to you, right?

    you sound very young, so i am going to tell you that your low self confidence is normal. though, you should do yourself a favor and work on that. you will feel better every day if you do.
