Q: Being Overshadowed...again

Ok here is the problem.

All my life I have been overshadowed by people. I was a good student in high school, but I was no virginia (my sister). I was a good quarterback, but I was no bob (my brother). This followed me all the way to college at virginia tech. My freshman year, I was a cadet. I was a good one, but no guy (my father). My sophomore year I walked on to the football team. Of course, this was the michael vick era, so I never played. However, after he left, I started most of my senior year. I was good, but no michael. I know it isn't much to say that I was overshadowed by michael vick because just about everyone who plays quarterback. However, now I am being overshadowed in my dating life. The girl that I am dating keep saying that I am a good guy. She says that the guy she used to date always did........(fill in the blank with a nice thing). I am tired of being overshadowed by everyone and cannot find anything that is my own. What can I do to get her to stop thinking of me as second best?

Quit telling yourself you're no "fill in name here". That's not good. Build up your self esteem. If you have to, do some soul searching to find out who you are. You'll be much happier.


As with the girl, tell her how you feel. If she still continues to do the stuff, get rid of her. Sounds to me she's not over her ex.. Which could lead to major relationship issues down the road, more than it's causing now.
