Question helo, how you doing. my name is grace and i jus met a friend. we ve been hanging out alot lately and we are planning on moving outside the dorm and finding a new apartment. problem is dat she is tall, skiny, had model looks and dresses very sexy to show off her great body. everytime we go out alot of guys talk to her. she draws alot of attention. any guy who comes to us is mostly likely always talk to her. its like i don,t exist. its making me feel uncomfortable. i don,t even feel like going out with her sometimes becuase all thats gona happen is dat she will get alot of attention all day and it will make me self concious bout myself. i cant even have regular fun with her because of all the guys looking at her trying to hit on her. i don,t like the atention. ill rather jus go out and have fun with a frined without having to wory bout all that atention. sometimes ill try to dress extra sexy just to keep up to her. and any guy who i think is hot is most likely gona talk to her if he comes up to us unless his like really shorter than her. shes like 5.8 by the way, i,m 18 years old, 5 feet tall and 120 pounds. what should i do? i don,t know how much longer i will deal with this. int he begining i had no problem with it but now its begining to get to me and am more self cautious.
Answer Hi grace,
This seems to boil down to a low self-esteem that says she is better that I am. To be successful in life one has to have full confidence in yourself. This can be achieved through learning how we can get rid of a negative self-image and doing a self-help psychotherapy course. Please read:
in its entirety. It looks at the self-image as being at the core one's personality and shows you how you can change this by mental exercises. It includes an assertiveness training program, a communication course establishing significant relationships, and values clarification.
