Am I a toxic friend?

Question

So I just started 9th grade this year and I made friends with these 3 girls, which I adore but I have a problem. Well, I have one of my friends in 5th period for medical terminology and she is really smart. Sometimes I get jealous of it. Like when we are playing a game for review or answering questions and she gets them right, i get jealous. I try to tell myself that Instead of being jealous why can't I be proud of her. When I went to the restroom today, I saw my friend there. I used the restroom and looked in the mirror and told myself "ew I look ugly." She commented in joking way "No you don't, you know that you look cute, you just say that for us too say that you don't." In that moment I realized that was exactly what I do. I looked upon myself and realized something is wrong with me. But the thing is, this just happens with them, I don't feel that way with the rest of my friends.

I don't think you're a toxic friend for looking for positivity from your friends. As long as you don't take it to the extreme, you're probably fine. Like, try not to bring down the entire friend group's mood or something. You don't have to feel guilty if you think it's wrong to get praise from friends. If you don't like that you do that, you can acknowledge that you want to stop doing that and try to do better. No need to feel bad <3

You should talk to them and tell them how you feel, your not a toxic friend many people go through this as did I, but expressing your feelings will make you feel better and you should feel more confident about yourself maybe try some new hobbies or do something different in your life.
