Hi Katie,
Reframe this. You are not ugly, your friend is conventionally attractive. Your friend is not beautiful per se, she is conventionally attractive. So your friend is conventionally attractive. Just because you’re surrounded by conventionally attractive people doesn’t mean you’re not beautiful. Once YOU deem YOURSELF as beautiful, you will carry yourself that way. Do you really want the attention of conventional boring people?
Warning: Once you convince yourself that you are beautiful, other people may get pissed off at your new gorgeous aura. “Who do you think you are?” attitudes from others will be signs that you are on the right path.
And then one day, BAM! One guy (or several) will think you are the most gorgeous, alluring creature they ever encountered. Other conventionally attractive females WILL get threatened. They will compete with you and try to steal your man. Other guys will get confused as their alpha brothers fight over you.
One day years from now you’ll look at pictures of you now and think, “Oh my God, I was so beautiful!”
