Top things that helped me with comparison are: - Understanding that we all have such different lives and circumstances that comparison between you and another person can NEVER be a fair test. - You never truly know someone, so it's impossible for you to actually compare yourself to them. You're comparing your entire self to your outside perception of them. - Everyone's losing the comparison game. The people that make you feel like shit, have people that make them feel like shit. In that sense, we're all equals. - Even if comparison was completely valid, it still doesn't help you in any way at all. So there's no reason to do it. You have full permission to let go of those thoughts for this reason. - Comparison is a habitual way of thinking, and habits can be changed!

I deleted social media (still on RU-vid, obv) since August of last year. And I must say, I went from suicidal ideation with constant comparisons and negative thoughts to mental clarity and positivity. Watching videos like these and the like, has helped tremendously. Social media can be toxic for a vast majority, and if it’s got you down, just delete it and don’t look back. I’m so glad I did.

COLE! What a critical subject to cover. And I think that you have talked about this before but not as in depth. This is something that I have struggled with and still do at times...... "good enough" Am I good enough? It's hard to see my growth at times it's kind of like when you plateau in the weightlifting world. But if you compare your body to 2 years ago and if I compare where I was at 2 years ago I see growth..... but if I compare myself to last week I feel stagnant sometimes
