I genuinely don’t know what’s wrong with me but my best friend is just jaw dropping.

I should be happy for her- we both dressed up really cute and she did my hair and makeup- only for me to look at the photos and hate the way I looked. Everything about me just seems wrong.

Her on the other hand, she just has the most perfect dolly nose and facial structure. She mogs me to Venus and back. It’s just so bad I can’t help but compare myself to everyone around me. Is this just a teenage thing or a mental concept I need to improve?

envy is my downfall

I'm a pretty jealous person myself. I think it's just a mental curb you have to improve on somehow. You feel this way cause you perceive her beauty as a "threat" in some way and you're gonna have to unlearn that

this is true and it makes me sad that I view her as threatening because she’s my safe person. I love her and I want the best for her so it just hurts me to be such a bitch. Thank you for that
 
Envy is human nature. I’m sure even your friend that you see as really beautiful is jealous of someone. It will be hard to eliminate these thoughts but you can still be a supportive and great friend.

+ your beautiful 🤩

You're not a bitch it's human nature, wanting to improve is the main thing

It's just being a woman. All girls really feel that way when looking at their photos. It's just your wiring.

Anyways, I'll bet you really are a pretty bird. You wouldn't have picked that username if it wasn't somewhat applicable.
 
Surprisingly, I've never felt truly jealous of anyone, I think I love myself too much.

this is going to sound SO bluepilled but everybody has a different type of beauty and everybody is going to look different. dont feel bad about yourself just because she has a different facial structure than you do.

and honestly for any mental concept changes, just be bluepilled in your regular every day life, but when it comes to stuff like going to the gym, getting any surgeries(if you are planning any!!), or self improvement, thats when you start looking at it from a whitepill perspective

because personally it helps me when im on the stairmaster or wtv, thinking about my glowup ykwim!!! it actually doesnt motivate me when i compare myself to other people, it motivates me more when i think about maximizing MYSELF and what i can work with, what my bone structure is, what genetics i have. and if someone else has a prettier nose than me, or bigger eyes, idgaf because what can i do?? yes i could get surgery but it might look uncanny, so for now, beating myself up over it isnt going to magically give me bigger eyes, or a smaller nose, its just gonna make me feel bad. so now im sad and ugly now what LMFAO id rather be happy and ugly

looksmaxxing doesnt have to consume your everyday life prettybird, for me, once i turn off this site i really dont think about it at all

actually i think what i just described was kinda whitepill ughh idk just dont let it consume you because it really isnt that serious. ever. you can have so much fun and especially for someone already as pretty as you, you wont have to worry about looks affecting your interactions

It's okay to feel jealous, the main thing is working through that feeling and really letting yourself FEEL it before you jump to intellectualizing it or solving it; obv you gotta fix the problem eventually but there's a process to it

Definitely +1ing what someone else said about beauty being subjective; obviously there are societal standards (and there are some people most everyone'll agree just aren't attractive at all), but after a certain point it really does become more about what you look like at your best and the personal preferences of other people

Just love yourself and try to be the best version of yourself you can, the fruits of your labor come after trust

this is not what friends are for if she's clearly better than you do something about it don't just look at her succeed in life

she’s born beautiful. her features are delicate while mine are less than. I’m actively working on improving but I can’t do much about my face unless I get surgery
 
you’re just being way too cruel to yourself. she might look good, but so do you. you just don’t see it right now. comparison distorts everything. and honestly, the people around you definitely see way more beauty in you than you think.🫶
you are a pretty girl, it makes me sad to see you think like this.

Its actually insane to me that you don't realise that you're beautiful but I do understand. I would kill to look like you

It’s not your fault. Some people are just born lucky while others have to work hard. You just kindly reminded me to stop whining and work on it so i appreciate it a lot

wish you the best, bud.
 
i think it's a more teenage feeling, i used to feel this way but now i don't and i just admire the beauty of friends who are prettier than me. but don't punish yourself over these feelings - it's not that you hate your friend or anything, you just feel sad that after getting ready and all that stuff you don't look as good as u wished. pictures are also so terrible i hate looking back at them haha. ohh and also try to find more beauty in yourself, you're genuinely very gorgeous :)
 
I smell banal answers
I'll be honest: you probably won't get over this feeling, or if you do you will need a lot of time
 
I'd also advise you to try to seek professional counseling if that'd be viable for you
internet forums r great for niche community but probably subpar for self esteem/mental health advice
