Insecure around my friends

Usually I am very confident in myself and feel the need to not worry about others. BUT recently, I had a crush on this guy that seemingly only cares about my friend because she was “girly”. That made me wonder more about myself because back when I was dating my ex, I was told I’m not girly enough or too rowdy for a woman.

Now, I feel really insecure when taking pictures with my friends because I just feel that all my friends are prettier than me somehow. On the other hand, my friends have been supportive of me none stop in my confidence journey and it all came tumbling down recently because of the boy I liked. I just feel contradictory because I wanna express myself with how I dress but at the same time I hate how society (especially guys) sees me as someone unfitting to be “wife material”. I can cook, do house chores and earn money too. The only thing is I have a more masculine personality.
