Dear thewonderchef,
I feel awful for asking this question but I need to know how to deal with my room mate. She doesn't do anything bad, in fact she is wondereful; but that's where the problem lies. I'm afraid that I'm jealous of her and because of this I feel smaller and pettier than I ever have in my life. She's smart, beautiful, outgoing, and involved in just about everything. I've always had low self esteem and now that I live with her I can't seem to stop myself from comparing myself to her. Also, in our group of friends I feel amost overshadowed; we hang out with the same people and I always catch myself wondering if they like her better than me. Please help me; I know that this must sound juvenille and stupid but I've been feeling so sad lately I don't know what to do. I don't want to be jealous of her anymore- I just feel so second rate and pitiful that any advice you offer would be much appreciated.
Yours Truly,
T.

Tough problem. Everyone compares themself to everyone else at some point. You should realize that if these people are really your friends they like you for you and not her. As cheesy as it sounds, you just need to be happy with yourself. Whatever you do, don't act all distant from them, that never works. Best of luck.
