My friend is so lucky!
My friend has many talents, like, sing, drawing, playing instruments. Well sometimes I feel like poop because it like she better than me. She gets random people on instagram telling her how talented and how pretty she is and sometimes it's like, wow what the heck am I. And the thing is she always like my life sucks or boring or something like that, but yet she's like the most luckiest person I know. She talks to people like Diamond White on twitter and get them saying stuff like I love you and your so amazing. And I always feel like a piece of poop when she tells me stuff like that. But I want to be happy for her, but it's just hard because I want to be able to draw and have people tell me I'm pretty ( even though I already believe it) and be able to talk to famous people too!

She may seem lucky, but she's worked like hell to become good at so many talents.
Some people just have a desire to be great at things-a fire in their belly, and others do not.
So if you want to be able to be as talented as your friend, respect the fact that these talents have come at a cost to her, in terms of time, money and energy. Trust me, people don't just get good at something it takes time and effort.
If you want to be like your friend you have to be prepared to work as hard as her.
Its also relative-what people want out of life. She may WANT to be admired, you may prefer to be happy.
The only way you can be admired is if you work hard at something yourself...don't waste time and energy into being slightly jealous of your friend. Put this energy into a talent your good at. Or start up a new hobby.

What you're feeling is completely natural. I can't say that it's wrong to feel this way, as long as you keep it under control and don't let it ruin your friendship.
You just need to be positive. It's easier said than done. You don't need to compare yourself, because if you keep doing that, someone will always be better.
You need to focus on being happy and focus on what you're good at, not what she's better at. It's really hard when your friend is the one who you're comparing yourself to. These kinds of things end friendships and you don't want that happen.
Anyways, the luckiest people never realize that they're lucky. They always think they need more, if that makes any sense.
Just work on it and focus on yourself.

Jealousy is a natural thing. I have friends who get praised more than me and I have lots of talents (not meaning to brag) and I admit sometimes it bothers me but not everyone can get the same opportunities and same talents or else we'd all be the same. Just be happy for her and who knows, a chance to meet someone famous might come along!
