Do you compare with others?

Hi Itzmee, My parents raised us with confidence and appreciation of what we are and what we have. it's one of the best values that i learned from my parents. i even applied it in life, relationship and even career. I am secured enough to appreciate people differences, strengths and accepts each other's limitations. Never that me and my husband compete. We always COMPLIMENTS with each other. Supportive with each other. We may not be so blessed with material things but we are happy with what we have right now. in time we will be able to make our dreams come true. we are working hard on it! Insecurity and pride push you to compare yourself to others and even be proud of what you have when in fact nobody cares what you are and what you have.

I had a tendancy to do this sometimes when I was younger, but no good ever really comes of such a thing. I do not compare myself with or try to be like or live like anyone but myself any more. That is the best way for me. Karen

I much like yourself don't like to make comparisons with other people on the grounds that their circumstances are much different to ourselves. To think we are better than another person wouldn't be a fair comparison if you were comparing wealth and were born into a wealthy family while the other person was raised from a struggling family with many children to provide for. There's only one person you can compare yourself to and that is YOURSELF. No one else at all. You can compare yourself with the person now and the person a year ago and try to figure out what things you have improved? what experiences have made you wiser? how have you given to self improvement and helping others in your life that are important to you? These would be the things I would usually compare myself with rather than wealth, talent or things of the like.

I would do mental competitions with the other kids at school. See who had good grades and would try to out due them. I see people who I admire something about them. It is not like it is important, either one of them. Just some mental work I do from time to time. Keeping the beamer busy ya know.

Hi I don compare myself with otherz..Comparing with otherz its a sure fire recipe for a drop in self confidence & for unhappiness, its also not that usefull

I do this a lot. There's always a lot of pressure in life to be like others. If you see someone who has more money than you, or seems happier than you, you are bound to compare yourself. It's only human. I say, it's not a problem unless it consumes your life.

Hi it! I normally do not compare myself with others, because I know that it is of no use to compere myself with others. All are born and brought up in different circumstances and enviornment, therefore, it will not be a good idea to compere me with others. Comparison can also be made which two human beings or things stand equal. One cannot compere a lion with an elephant because both have different characterstics. Two lions, however, could be compared.

Well, I like myself being compared with others and I really don't think it a bad thing to be compared with others. It gives me pressure and motivates me to work harder to make better achievements. By comparing myself with others, I come to know others' advantages over mine. It helps me to be clear of my deficiencies. It gives me an opportunity to learn from others to enhance my ability in many aspects.

Lol, nobody can compare to me so it is futile to try.

I don't like to compare myself with others. I don't thik anybodywil like that. But, I do compare because it is normal for a person to compare in some situations. The comparison sometimes gives me more engery to work more or achieve more things in like other people to which I compare. I will never compare any of my family members with others. I hate it.

Well I don't really try to because I'm not all that concerned as too whether or not I look as a acceptable as someone else or whatever. I have my own personal goals and my own driving force inside of me that pushes me to do better not the competition of trying to be better then someone else. My main drive is my creationary force that wants me to be able to give birth to what I want to to the best of my abilities.

I don't like comparing myself with others because we all have different personality, different life to live in our own. If we always compare our self with other we will just get depress, confuse & we may say that life is unfair for us why our state of living is not as nice as those who were financially bless. So better be true to our self that we can only look up to what we can do to uplift the state of living of our family than comparing it always to others.
