Do you compare yourself to others?

I do it so much, I really wish I didn’t. I’m actually really jealous of so many people, they seem so much further ahead, or braver, or cooler than me. 😭
And I’d bet that a whole lot of them feel the same way as you. Try to work on freeing yourself from those feelings. They’re such a waste of valuable time.

Thankyou! I’ll try as I don’t like being this way, it feels pretty ingrained though.
I really want to stop being like this and I know I’ll be a much better person. @OlderSometimesWiser

I try not to, I am so incomparable. I have never fit the mould of standards. Seems very self defeating to do so.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
I like that. 😊@Iwillwait
We all do it.

Dont think just because people seem to have it all, it means they are happy.

Ive known a few people in life who, no matter what gifts they had, what success they had earned - it was never enough.

They went through perpetual cycles of gaining more, being unhappy, gaining even more, being more unhappy.

Some of tje best things in life ARE free, if you have the perspective to see them and appreciate them .

Ok, thankyou! I’ll try to remember and use what you’ve said. @OogieBoogie
@Strongtea if you have true friends, and someone to love, you are exceedingly rich 🤗

Everything else is just decoration.

Never, I decided to accept myself for who I am a long time ago. I do everything to the best of my ability, I don’t entertain regrets and never look backwards.

@Strongtea you are a person in your own right with your own unique characteristics and should accept that fact and be you and not compare yourself too others

we are always advised by the pundits NOT to

which means most of us absolutely do...

Healthy competition is one thing but otherwise comparison just brings unnecessary stress so I don't. I only focus on the things that matter and honestly I'm just not very impressed with people.
