How do you not compare yourself to other guy friends?

My friend is amazing. We are both 29. She's so outgoing. Talks to everybody.

We met years ago. We connected right away. We can talk about anything. Be vulnerable. Be in silence. She's awesome.

Thing is, she has a few guy friends. I can't help but compare myself to them. I feel we are close but these guys seem to sometimes have more time with her.

These guys have better jobs. More money. Smarter. Not that I have nothing to offer. Not that I have a crush on her. Strictly platonic. Just hate getting down on myself about it.

How do you not compare?

With me, I feel she is 100% herself. She gets silly and childlike sometimes (doesn't with others), she shares secrets with me and talks about her life and growing up. I don't know I get this sense of a special friendship. But maybe I'm wrong.

Sometimes I don't hear from her and the next day she shares she was texting so so during the night and it was funny because bla bla. Even though she would always text me during the night. Feel replaced? But I know it's normal to share the love as a friend. I know I know

I just sometimes hate when I compare myself to these guys. But I think of everything I have to offer. A good hearted friend that'd do anything for her.
