You're shy, she isn't. You are completely different people. I bet she has problems about you. So she's pretty? 72% of guys just go after girls for their looks, would you want that to happen to you? Would you want that to happen to your little sister? You look at all the things you DON'T have, what about the characteristics you do? Sorry I'm a bit bitchy today but I hope I helped knack you into sense. [ Wheeler's advice column | Ask Wheeler A Question ]

But...i let it go.
Try not to compare youself with her. You and your sister are two completely different people. With different lives. You may not know it but she might not be happy with herself. You never know.
Just focus on what's great about yourself. You have your own things going on, she has hers.
I'm sure there's things you like about yourself. And surround yourself with people you love and that love you back. [ martinikiss's advice column | Ask martinikiss A Question ]
