Why are people so shi$$y???

Ok let me start by saying past two months I been working really hard of coming out of my shell to become more social. What helped me get back outside is photography. I got myself a camera as a motivation to get outside every day (well weather depending) Started a photography page on FB to show off my pics. I was all excited.

I reconnected with an old friend who also enjoys photography. We been out a few times taking pictures all around town. Where I am getting bent and please let me know if I am over-reacting. I posted a photo contest at the zoo here and tagged him to let him know so we both could enter. I think that's what friend do. Where i get mad - there was a contest at the local camera shop - you get your photo featured as the cover page and $150 gift certificate. Well my friend never told me about this contest and he won which I think is shady. The photo he won with was one of pics he took when he was with me so this contest was current. I mean that pretty shady to screw over a disabled person so you can win a contest and be in the spotlight. If I had know about contest and won it would have be great to get some more likes on my FB page to expand my little circles - he doesn't realize/care how hard that is with social anxiety and agoraphobia to socialize. He has 500 likes on his photo page 800 friends so he walks with an army and my fb photo page has 40 likes and I walk with a squad of 4 people =( This experience has caused me distress and feel bad because social media measures our greatness and I don't feel like I measure up
