Egotistical much?

My best friend and I have a lot of things in common. We both do ballet. We both sing. We both love theatre. We both do marching band. It’s great to have a friend like that, but not when he’s better than me at everything we do. He goes to the school with one of the best marching bands, whereas ours comes in last place. He’s been doing theatre his entire life and is wicked good at acting. He sings like a professional, and he’s so good at dancing that his instructor wants him to quit band do concentrate on it more. He also lives in a place where there’s a lot of opportunity, and I live in the middle of nowhere. The worst part is, when he talk, most of what he talks about is how good he is at everything, and how people ask him to sing because he’s just that good. And, to top it all off, he is constantly reminding me that I’m not as good (not in those words though), like if I say I’ve done three musicals, hell say ‘multiply that by ten and you’ll get how many I’ve done’ or something like ‘you’re really not a dancer’. He always has to be right and he always has to be on top. He’s a wonderful friend and all, and I support him and am happy for him and his success, but it’s really killing me. I’m just so sick of being second-best, if even that.

Sounds like he’s just using you to make himself feel better, without regard for how he’s making you feel in the process. Who needs a friend like that?

Or perhaps, jealous much?
