Whom to I envy and what do I lie about?

I constantly find myself on social networking sites looking at other girls and comparing myself to them. When I do this I grow jealous or envious of them for having the perfect hair, the great teeth and also wear the right clothes. I get down on myself because I put forth all my energy on wanting to be like them when I am clearly meant to be different. I am thankful for what I have and I am blessed to be given my wonderful family and friends so I try not to get caught up in wanting things that other people have. But what I lie about are silly things like when people ask my grades in a class or if I have gotten into a college or what my test scores are. I will lie and say I don't remember or I haven't heard back yet because I feel self conscience about this and feel that my scores will not be good enough. I have a feel of being a failure so I lie and tell people that I have completed something when I actually forgotten just to save myself from admitting to forgetting and having to let people down.

  1. You will appreciate this quote by the beautiful Courtney Cox, "I'm at peace with myself and where I am. In the past, I was always looking to see how everybody else was doing. I wasn't competitive, I was comparative. I just wanted to be where everybody else was. Now I've gotten to an age when I am not comparing anymore."
