So yet again it seems I have made a friend who is prettier and better at everything than me...

[theSuburbanDryad]

I know I should be grateful that I'm at least meeting people and they want to be friends (or, well, she says she does anyway ) but I've just been looking at her facebook pictures and she is really really pretty, her dh is pretty fit too (i don't fancy him - I'm being objective) her children are divinely cute, her wedding pictures look like they had the perfect ceremony and her friends are all "the beautiful people" IYSWIM.

And yes - I do realise that people only put the "nice" pictures up of themselves - but even the pictures her friends have put up are of her and them looking beautiful and serene. Whereas the pictures my friends put up of me are me lapping up a pint of Guinness looking dead rough and so on (I don't mind, I think it's quite funny in a way).

I didn't really know where to post this - in mental health (but it's not really a MH issue) or in Chat (because I know it's really a blatant attention seeking load of crap!) or AIBU - to think my friends are all prettier and more successful than me?

Pathetic, aren't I?

Flame you don't get this game do you? You're meant to say,'why ledodgy you are stunninger than stunning I bow down in your beautiful presence!'

why ledodgy you are stunninger than stunning I bow down in your beautiful presence!

I thank you.

lightbulb - we should get together and have a gloomy side of the photo. Pints and oliebollen on me!!

Aww bless you SUD, you're talking about me, aren't you???

You lknow what an old schoolfriend once told me I look like eric idle I bloody do don't I?

But of course LTH!

aww......none of you should feel bad, you are ALL stunning.

I think everybody feels this way inside; it's just that some people wouldn't admit it. Or at least I hope they do because I always feel this.

That pint picture is fab - really cute.

Don't patronise us Psycho!

but it is true.

I think you are all fab, and I don;t need pics to tell me that!!!

Mmmm you all don't need to worry. I am prettier and more successful than all my friends. I still love them it makes me feel so you know.....pretty and successful.

We also like to live in a shitty area so we feel REALLY rich.

anyway do you fancy meeting the non pretty dysfunctional chesham friend this weekend for coffee or a drink in the week? Kids are off to Spain with Grandparents so I have some free time!

I had to run quick, so a was all I had time for!

You are the stunningest most stunningy thing in the world ever

Yes please!

I will give you a text tomorrow.

i have a friend who is so pretty and thin and god damn nice that actually i want to scratch her eyes out sometimes

that just gets messy

yes but i would be one v pretty,skinny nice friend down

seriously she NEVER swears(has not yet had children), never bitches about people and is ALWAYS smiling

oh go for it then - she sounds like hell

am waiting to meet you and then i can gouge your eyes out in RL

UD, you're lovely and appearances can, as someone's already said on this thread, be incredibly deceptive. And you're having a bit of a tough time atm and being pregnant isn't always the most body-confident time anyway. Certainly wasn't for me! Nor post-pregnancy, come to think of it...! [paunch] And you're lovely.

I'll do it for you MoM!

for reasons of being too nice and gorgeous not becasue i am psychotic serial killer

Beauty is skin deep, this perfect lady wants to be your mate because she likes you. That's great. I would never pick my friends because they were uglier(I'd have a job)than myself or prettier etc. Life isn't always as it seems. Hope you get on with her and have some great times/support.

SD - I have no idea what you look like, but you are one of my fave MNers. I frequently don't bother posting on a thread as you've got there ahead of me (and said it more eloquently and wittily than I would have). Your friend is lucky to have you
