Some people are born to be "Likable", it doesn't matter how their appearance are? Everywhere they go, other people are so comfortable around them. They are capable of making others laugh, and providing a happy atmosphere to the environment. I guess that is their characteristics. If one of your friend is that person, would you feel jealous, because everyone's attention is on him, not on you all the time? Do you have a friend like that?

Well,for me I don't feel jealous towards my friends if they are more likable than I. If I didn't feel comfortable with them, I wouldn't consider them as my real friend. If my friend is more likable than myself then good for her and I am so proud that I have friend that kind of characteristic that people felt at ease when she's around.

I have many friends which have this kind of factor "likable". I don't feel jealous to them because I know we are all unique and have this different kinds of characteristic. I am very proud of my friends because they are beautiful and I can't help myself not to stare at them. And when we are all together I noticed that the attention is not only for them because I see that even if I am not more beautiful like them I see some people looking at me.

I have a sister like that, and I've learned that I can't let it bother me. I know there are things about me that others value and appreciate, but that I'll never be as magnetic of a personality as she is. At times, it's hard to deal with, because I wish I had the power to command a room or a person the way she does. However, she and I get along great, and I'm happy to have her as my sister more than anything, so I try not to be jealous, but rather, happy that she's my sister, that we're friends, and that we respect each other and each others' personalities for what they are.
