Angry feelings at best friend, an inferiority complex?

Asked by Heroworks (130points) July 28th, 2010

OK here goes, I suppose I should first describe my friend and then why I feel so crappy around him and others. My best friend is confident, happy, and the life of every social gathering. I love to hang out with him, but he acts smug at times and has a subtle way of telling me all the time that he is great at anything he tries to pick up. For example, I broke a finger on my left hand a long time ago and can’t snap my fingers on that hand, when I told him that I couldn’t snap my fingers on said hand he just stared at me with a cocky look and said that he thought it was so stupid of me to not be able to do such a simple act. I then spent next 2 hours trying in vain to snap my fingers on that hand. I try to better myself at everything I do, so I hate that I feel so inferior to him when he does his alpha male thing. He is a good person, but I honestly think he believes he has no flaws and when I hang out with him sometimes I just feel like I’m worthless and can’t do anything right. So I just wanted to not feel like this anymore, any suggestions guys?
