 Hi.The reason you feel jealous is because like you said you lack confidence, but feeling self-assured and learning to love yourself is not easy. You need to discover what makes you, you. You shouldn’t care what others think of you and don’t judge yourself based on anyone else’s opinions. Like yourself for who you are and don’t change for anyone.The way to feel confident is to act as if you are confident, in a sense pretend you are when in fact you are not, like an actress on stage. You will find people will treat you as if you are confident and in turn you will become more confident.If your jealousy is making you miserable, then the best thing to do is face them head on. Tell the person of whom you are envious how you feel and why, chances are she feels the same as you.

 Hi,
you're jealous because you've put yourself down so much and have got it into your head that everyone's better than you, you have made yourself almost paranoid about the way you look! There is a garantee that SOMEONE in the world admires you. Who needs look when I bet you've got brains and assorted talents! You're bound to get prettier - i bet you're pretty already, you just don't think so!
Hope this helped,
Phoebe
