I have a friend who reminds me of your friend. In her opinion her crafts are always prettier, her house is better decorated, her car is nicer and the list goes on and on. The truth is our mutual group of friends is rather diversified and we each have a craft/hobby in which we shine. Most of us are also secure with who we are and do the best we can to make the best of the hand life has dealt us. She on the other hand is very insecure, and has a very low self esteeme, however, she is always the 1st person in the group to step forward when someone needs help. Although we feel it would be nice if she occasinally gave someone a compliment , even a tiny little one, deep down we know its not going to happen and just do the best we can to ignore her comments while patiently waiting for a miracle.
