How comparison destroys your mental health #psychology

I use the hot water to wash my hands no problem. Days that I’ve spent an hour or more outside in the cold it feels like the water is too hot.

Mind blown 🤯 😮‍💨

There's a few of us that aren't so simple.

conclusion have idiots friends you look smarter 😁

You can always find someone who is fatter-thinner, prettier-homelier, smarter-dumber than you. The question is, What are you looking for?

So solution is to stay away from intelligent people? Doesn't they say accompany yourself with people who are better than you, if you want to grow?

Plenty of people in the world have their relationship like this. Based on rounded focused their central focus of relation become bigger or smaller

This is also why some people are more likely to improve at what they do if they're surrounded by people better than them. Say you go to a school that is not that smart. You feel like a genius and it's hard to tell how smart you are in an objective sense because there's no competition. But if you're in an elite school surrounded by smart, hardworking students, you'll likely meet someone smarter than you, and that serves as a clear image of what you can strive to become.

This goes for your own issues as well. Imagine you're someone who's having a hard time, no money, mental health issues… and then people compare you to a starving child in Africa. "You don't have it as bad as they do". That's true. But if you compare yourself to someone who's healthy and happy, you'll notice you shouldn't settle for a life that "isn't as bad as being a starving toddler's".

They are different i compared them with scale

Unfortunately, social status is EVERYTHING. If you lack coin, connections, crews, clout, computer code, control, corporate communities, and opulent opportunities… then you ain't SHEET. 😂🤣😂 No exceptions; end of story.

False equivalency.
Unless IQ measurements are a hoax. 🤔

I SO needed to hear this RIGHT NOW as I’ve been feeling jealousy towards a friend who won an apartment lottery.

No amount of theory and self awareness stopped comparing myself until i actually noted my envy and did something to achieve it.
At the beginning i faced only frustration and felt worse thinking all these people can and i can't, things as simple as taking a picture or gym, until i started cutting the self pity and just say okay this works, this doesn't work for me. I exhausted myself today i will try tomorrow and with time it became better.

just admit that I'm not smart I'm not superman. I have weak points, just like everybody does. But also I have my own advantages, just like everybody does.

One could lose the ability to walk tommorow. Then nothing else would matter and comparison would become pointless. To be humbled is a massive blessing.

If you consume social media mindfully and intentionally, this happens less. It’s more of a pleasant distraction than a harm for me. I’m 36

Its all perspective 🥲

Wow
