I hate to ask this question, because it makes me sound whinny and insecure and I realize it's such petty issue, but sometimes it really does get me down. I actually cry about it, lame I know, but this is something i've had to deal with my whole life so I guess it's a soft spot for me.
I have 3 older sisters..i'm 19, they're 21, 25 & 26. And all of my sister are really stunning. It's not that I'm ugly, I'm just average whereas there beautiful. It sucks because my whole life I've always had people comment on how gorgeous my sisters are (no ones ever said that about me) or had them say 'That's your sister?' when they meet one, like they're shocked I could be related to someone that beautiful. Even my best friend thinks I'm the ugly sister, she always jokes about how I missed out on the good genes, and when we got drunk once I asked her if she though I was the ugly sister, and she pretty much confirmed she does.
I just get really insecure about it, because my whole life I've known that when people look at me that's what they think, that i'm the ugly one. And it sucks because I love going out with my sisters, but I always feel really insecure around them. We go clubbing sometimes, and all the boys love them but they don't even glance at me when I'm with them. They all get asked to dance and I'm just left sitting there and I hate it! And to make matters worse, they all have amazing personalities too! They all have this bubbly, fun loving streak but I come across as sarcastic, opinionated and stubborn.
Anway, I guess I'm just asking how I can become more confident in regards to my sisters. I'm actually very confident with my friends, but when I go out with my sisters I become really insecure. It just brings back the years that I always compared to them and I felt like I was always standing in their shadows, because I could never be as beautiful or talented as them. But I really want to get over it now, because I want to enjoy going out with them instead of feeling depressed all the time.

Any advice is appreciated!

Thank you :)

God made us equally. We are all beautiful and each one of us is UNIQUE. So what? if people compares you to your sisters, so what? if your sisters have boys who dances with them, so what? if your sisters have amazing personalities. You also have amazing personalities but you just don't figure it out because your'e busy worrying that your sisters is prettier than you. I know you have such an amazing personality much amazing than your sisters. Don't mind others who tells you that your ugly cause that's not true, others who make you down, others who criticizes you. Don't think about how people looks at you because they are what they say to you. If they say you're ugly, no, THEY are the ones who is UGLY.





The more you think you're ugly, you will be. Think your'e BEAUTIFUL and you will be. You are a beautiful creation of God.

I feel the same as you! But I only have 1 sister:) I'm 23 n she is 28 but I've always felt this way too. I can't get passed it either its so hard. The guy like I like even said that I'm prettier then her, but is so hard to believe in my head, I asked if he was sure n he said I wouldn't say it unless I didn't think so. But because she has always been the one that everyone likes n asks about it just gets me down. I've cried before too. Your not alone! I think we just need confidence:) I don't know how to get confidence but.just be yourself:) n act like u don't notice n don't care:) xx

You know its very obvious to feel like this when you have more beautiful sisters..my own sister is much charming as compared to me..so i used to feel ashamed in going out with her...but then i realised beauty is not everything,,,i have so many qualities which i cant underestimate..and so with you...and above all this i love my sister more then any damn guy...so it should not affect me...you just chill..try to build self confident in you...behave nicely with everyone...let them think what they want..i mean no one can clean their dirty minds...you just enjoy with your sisters... When you are left alone..dont be sad..enjoy yourself...people compare you with your sister...just avoide them ...they say all this to hurt you...so be happy for the person whome u always see in the mirror...

Friend, i have not seen you whether you are beautiful or not. But it think you have been made to think that you are ugly of the other peoples comment on your sisters.

Friend man is beautiful by heart and thought not by its face , and personalitiy. Yes.personality is required but personality obtained by self-discipline. Truth,modesty and innocence. Friend keep your mind fresh and thought clean. Keep love on every thing and be confident on yourself. THAT'S ALL.
