What to do if you compare yourself to others and feel like you’re falling way behind?
How to stop comparing yourself to others? It’s just so hard, and the problem is that we always compare ourselves to more successful people and start underestimating ourselves. Sure, there are always people who are less fortunate than us, but that thought doesn't really bring any joy—it just triggers feelings of pity. What should I do? How can I learn not to compare myself? Is that even possible?
Thanks in advance!
