This person feels that their friend is more beautiful and gets all the attention.

Hey!

I’m glad you understand that inner beauty matters more and it's clearly understandable that if someone or the other is more pretty, you'd also want to be like them. However, I think rather than focusing so much on RN, you should start focusing on yourself. Sure, RN is getting the attention of all the boys and girls for how pretty and nice she is, but you don't have to make her the main character of your life. In your life, you're the main character. Take agency! Focus on bettering yourself by trying out new food, new art, new clothes, new makeup style, new hair styles. Trying new things like these are intimidating and scary but it helps you find out what suits you and what doesn't, what you like and what you don't. Life is all a series of a experiences. So go experience something new. You don't have to do it every day but once in a while when you feel like it. On other days, you can simply rest and heal and watch your favorite drama or read a book.

RN gets enough attention from boys, so you should get your own attention. Start focusing on yourself and some day those braces will come off and you'll have pretty teeth. Some day, with practice you'll wear good makeup and clothes you feel confident in because you tried out different styles and let yourself experience so many different things and found out which ones you like most.

Yes, she's pretty and cool. There are so many people like that in the world. But so what? You shouldn't try to compare yourself to anyone. RN has a worth in the lives of people that love her, similarly you are also worthy to people who love you and in how you love yourself. You have flaws, and that makes you human.

Focus on yourself and make yourself the center of your own life. Stop focusing on how many boys are giving who so much attention. Good luck and I hope you can have more confidence in yourself.
