Hey everyone so my best friend “alex” and I have been close for about three years now and I would consider us to be very close, almost like sisters. Over time I have developed a sense of confidence within myself however I think “alex” is facing insecurity problems, and I notice that sometimes, unprovoked she’ll say that I look better than her. I’ve never been the girl to bully or bring others down to lift myself up, and I get uncomfortable when the conversation arises. With that being said yesterday I got my hair done and I felt amazing beautiful, compliments left and right on instagram and you know just that feeling of being pretty. So while I was on the phone with her she was hyping me up yes, but also bringing herself down. She said “You are the prettiest girl, even prettier than me.” I didn’t know what to say, and so she asked me if I thought she was prettier than me. I ignored it however she kind of got the answer and saying “so you think im ugly?” that entire speech. To be quite honest, she’ll do the same with guys, she’ll go on and paint the idea that I get more male attention than she does (being honest, i do) and it kind of makes me feel bad for her but at the same time i don’t think i control that, and i can’t be made the villian. I don’t think male attention is that serious. I don’t even know how to have this conversation with her without making her thing negatively, any help?
