I Am Insecure

There's this girl who's good in math, a talented singer, great dancer, has a great body, considered a beauty, popular, smart, great in performing, and several others.

And then... There's me who is poor in math, can barely sing a proper note, has two left feet, in terrible shape, a nerd, and several others.

She came from an affluent family. And from what I see, she's perfect in my eyes. She's good in everything to the point that I want to get ahead of her.

I never wished ill upon her. In my mind, I just feel that I... want to be ahead of her. I'm so sorry.

I'm so insecure to the point that I feel like I'm nothing. Her talents are useful, and mine is useless. I mean, who needs my skills these days. She can do a lot and help a lot, and I feel so useless.

I want to make a difference with what I have, but I have nothing. I'm just... not great.

Why do insecurity keeps getting the best of me?

I, somehow, always compare myself to her in my mind. What do I have that she doesn't have? I suppose... I don't know it myself.

I'm insecure. I admit it. Faith, I'm so sorry. Sorry for being two-faced. I'm sorry for my horrible thoughts.

I have made that terrible mistake of comparing myself to everyone.
It's ok to have someone to look up to and want to be like them and that is not comparing, that's taking inspiration to better yourself.
You are comparing and devalue yourself in the process.
We all, everyone has a talent of some sort.
Really, this girl is not so perfect, no one is perfect.
If you are not in great shape, don't just sit there and mop, do something to better yourself and that will be your start to a new life and feel better to take on the world

OK, seriously, you can't feel the way you do about yourself because of someone else. There's always someone else and if you always "stare at the sun" you'll always be blinded to everything else -- obviously even to yourself. I mean I get it; it's low self-esteem and I have it, too. However you're not going to get anywhere with that until you just forget about others and try to think of yourself and your attributes in new and different ways.

sometimes we have to make our life better, just takin small steps. get better a little bit one day at a time. i know its hard to get motivated, but once you get on the right path, you will be glad you did.
