My boyfriend is a hugely talented musician. He excells in music and, not to mention, pretty much everything else he does. His confidence levels are through the roof- he's assertive, strong, independant, corageous and everyone looks up to him. He's a winner and he knows it. When he walks into a room he just has everyone's attention.
I really feel small compared to him. Like I know I have my own strengths, I know i'm intelligent and hard-working and I do interesting things. But when we're in public or with friends together he just makes me feel inferior. Not on purpose, I might add. He'd never try to make me feel this way. I'm not sure he knows how I feel, either. Not told him.
Maybe i'm just hugely insecure - or maybe we aren't right for each other. I'm pretty shy and mild-mannered. I absolutely HATE being centre of attention. He, on the other hand, loves it. He's in his element when he's in front of an audience. He's loud, confident and everyone seems to gravitate towards him. We have a fantastic friendship and sexual chemistry. When we're alone together we're a great team, so connected. We could talk all day and never get bored. But I can't shift this feeling of "he's better than me" simply because of his talents and his outgoing personality.
Are we mis-matched? Or is this situation not actually so bad? I love him but don't want to feel like a nobody any more
