My friends are jealous of me?

[Emily]

Okay, I don't want to sound like a cocky bastard here and I swear I'm not stuck-up in the least in real life but I need to be blunt if I want advise and answers. I have my own group of friends and there are about nine of us. And again, I'm not trying to sound cocky but I'm the prettiest and most talented in the bunch. But I never brag about it or act like I'm superior to them. Sometimes I feel incredibly left out because they'll compliment each other except for me. If I get a lot of likes on a facebook photo, they won't like it as if they don't want me to feel good about myself and my picture. When I win a contest they never congratulate me, they just say "oh, cool." If I get my hair done they will barely acknowledge it but if someone else gets their hair done they shower them in compliments. I just feel like they really are jealous of me and it sucks because I'm nice and just want to be apart of them. This is the part where they say beauty is a curse because people will try to punish

And well they should be.

It kind of sounds to me like you're the one who is jealous of them.

Maybe they are jealous. Or maybe it's something else bout u that they don't like. U can try asking them to see what it is. If its jealousy look for knew friends. If its something else bout u they don't like, u can try to change it and work it out. But a good friend will like u for who u are no matter how u are. Good luck!

Look, if all that you're saying is true and you feel that you're not being treated like an equal member of the group just for being prettier or smarter (though I believe these things are a matter of perception), speak to your friends about their behaviour towards you. In the deal you may lose 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or all 8 of them but you'll have the satisfaction of having got your point across to them that you are not to be trampled over. Maybe there is a misunderstanding between any or all of you on the dynamics of the group, which needs to be brought out in the open and resolved. I cannot tell you (with certainty) what the problem is.

My advice to you would be to act naturally. Don't underplay your positive qualities and don't exaggerate them either. If your friends see that you're comfortable in your own skin, they'll change their attitude towards you as well. Right now they probably feel that you are underplaying your winning qualities as a sort of "charity" to your average looking friends. It almost seems like an instance of "humblebragging" on your part. No person really likes feeling like he/she has been pitied. This should logically explain your friends' behaviour towards you. If you change your attitude and public image and still experience this sort of treatment, you'll have to do the right thing and find a new set of friends.

Emily, just leave them alone. Don't let it bother you so much.
