>Went to Japan for two weeks with a friend this spring
>Everyone I meet only wants to talk to my friend
>Either gets ignored or just tolerated with an occasionall "mhm" as a reply
>My friend is a gorgeous sweetheart, but clueless and just thinks I'm overreacting
>Goes out an evening with a friend in common
>Dude spends the night ignoring EVERYTHING I say and only tries to hit on my clueless friend
>My friend is used to be in the center of attention so she thinks it's normal to be approached the way she is
>She is really confused when I one night start to drunkenly cry in the taxi because I'm starting to feel really insecure
>I'm not ugly by any means (5"10, big eyes, sorta skinny), but next to her I'm the "ugly friend"
>Have an amazing time during the trip otherwise
>7 months after the trip I'm still feeling like shit because it took a GREAT toll on my confidence

I know I sound like an attentionwhore, but I honestly wanted to make new friends since I rarely go outside of the country, and getting ignored and only getting "mhm"/"okay" for answers when I tried to give any input in a conversation because they're busy oogling my friend hit me hard.

Also, I absolutely DO NOT blame my friend in any way. She did nothing wrong, she is someone that naturally draws people to her, her entire family and a lot of her friends has that trait so she doesn't fully understand that some of us gets shoved to the sidelines no matter how hard we try to reach out. I also don't regret my trip with her, she was a great travel mate and would love to take another vacation with her.
