Yes, I used to be exactly the same.
Still am sometimes. But luckily I have friends that, although I can't understand why they would be my friend, have stuck around long enough for me to realise that they must at least not mind my company.
The more you compare yourself to others the worse you end up feeling. You are not the same as them, you have your OWN personality, and it is a perfectly ok one.
Sometimes, it sounds a bit nasty, but if you find yourself being jealous of someone, remind yourself of a flaw they have. Like maybe they talk too much. It helps to remember that they are human too, and not perfect.
"Don't waste your time on jealousy, sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind. In the end the race is only with yourself."
