I Hate being Compared to other People!

Every person is unique. Why do you care about these comparisons? Are the people saying there is something wrong with you that you are not like the people you are being compared to?

Maybe most of us don't like that. I have found that many parents like to compare their children with other children , especially these children are better than theirs, they compare the children even in front of their own children , it's not good for the children, as I can see that, children don't like the comparison , either. I know parents want their children to learn from the other children, but in fact, it doesn't work. Just like children, we adults don't like the comparison, either, in face, it's useless to compare people, as you said, every one is unique.

I don't like it when people compare me to others, because I think that I am nothing like them and this means that I am of course going to have my positive and negative points just the same as they are. One of the things that annoys me the most is when my parents compare me to my brother, because he is cleverer than me and they always say that it is because I didn't work as hard as him but this just isn't the case at all. I would rather be my own person and be celebrated for my own achievements rather than having my failings pointed out all of the time.

I think that we all hate to be compared to other people. However, as long as there are people in this world and as long as there is some similarity between us and the other people, it is inevitable that we are going to be compared to other people. With that said, I do think that it is important that we also realize that most of the time when we are compared to other people, it is not something that is done out of spite.

Hi friend, i am also in your sort, always hate comparing activities. We are blessed to have unique skills and talents. Some persons compare them selves with others and getting pride or sad with it, if they are better than others, they will get pride, if they are worse than the comparing person then they will be sad. We must avoid this kind of comparison in our life. If we are interested in comparison, then we must compare our self with the past and present stage to know about the real progress. We don't get any benefits by comparing our self with others, no one is inferior and no one is superior each and every person is having unique skills and talents in god's creation and achieve a lot using their uniqueness. There is no substitute for your self, so be real and don't compare your self with others. Also don't compare your kids with other kids and blame them, each and every kid is having an unique talent, if your kid is not good in studies, don't blame them. Try your maximum to find out their unique skill and encourage them to shine in their field. Not every one is skilled in all the fields, the person who is good in sports may be dull in his education and vice verse. Each and every one is unique with their own skills and talents, so be special and find your uniqueness. You are special and you are unique. You have the ability to achieve a lot in your life if you find your uniqueness and work hard in your field.

We are all unique, I hate being compare to other people too.. The one sure way to get someone to deliberately not be like him or her is to keep hounding them to be like him or her. I know a lot of people have heard that. It's a shame, If the person means well they sure have a strange way of expressing it. Happy mylotting!

All of us will felt upset when we are compared to others especially if it will hit your EGO. Being compared to a friend might be the worst one. I hate also being compared to someone

wow... everyone of course didn`t want they are compared with another people it`s not only about we are unique.. but everytime we are compared with another people, it means (for my opinion) gives negative meaning for me..

I really don't want to be compared either! I am always compared to my mom and siblings which I don't really like. I am considered as ugly duckling to my family and whenever I am with my siblings and mother, I am always compared. It is really annoying especially when they tell you infront of my face the comparison. I don't care anyway. I love myself but sometimes, the self confidence would feel low because of that.

Everybody is unique and there is a very good reason for that. Why people like to compare beats me. Family members do it (probably think that if you share some dna you have to be identical?) society does, schools are, etc. Everybody is talking about how important it is to be different, to make the difference, to be creative, inventive but if you are that way they spit on you. Society can't stand those who are different in reality. Although those who were really different improved our lives (artist, creators, inventors, doctors, etc). I assume difference scares many people only being on in the cattle is safe.

I think most of us here share the same sentiments. Nobody wants to be up for comparison with anybody, whether we like the person or not, because we are our own person. We are unique, we do things our way and even if we ended up doing the same thing, we still do things differently. In comparing people against another, somebody's always bound to get hurt or offended. If ever we need to be critical of someone, we can do so without comparing people that way.

I hate also to be compared for it is me and I have my own identity. Yes, we are unique so we are not worth to be compared for.When I was a kid, I was being compared with my friend. Of course, she is better than me.I felt bad every time they compare us.

you know,in China,parents will always be comparing their kids to other people's kids,most kids are also annoyed by this comparison...are you chinese by the way?

It depends on how you are being compared I suppose. If the person seems to appear as someone better than you, it is quite offensive in some ways but if you are compared as you are similar in positive things, I consider that constructive. But of course if you are being compared to someone you don't like, that is another side of the story!

YES! u r the only one in this world, just keep thinking like that, I hate to be compared to others and hate somebody else imitate my behavior. Don't be swayed!

everyone is their own and in thoughts at least that is what I say. I was differant than all my family , maybe look some like each other but inside my mind and thoughts and action was differant..I did not do as they did and I was just me..I know some people say these things and it is mostly beecause they hear someone else say the same thing. and I believe sometimes they say it out of a touch of something they want to prevent from happening like something they care for and want to protect you but speaking it wrongly. and they do not know what to say. or the words to put together..so come out with you remind me of so and so..anyway ..just ask in what way? the reason they say it? then turn the bad to good..and see if they notice that..sometimes we hear and not realize maybe we are in a way like that..maybe we need to change a few things..or maybe it is all good..just smile and be happy if it is..life is too short to not get along..be happy and enjoy the good you see what is good for you...have a wonderful day...

We are all unique. There isn't a one of use who are the same. Even identical twins have something that is unique only to them individually. I hate being compared also. It irks me to no end when someone compares me to someone else or themselves to me. I’m an individual. I am not the other person and I don’t want to be compared to them. I hate petty jealousy that sometimes goes along with comparing.

I dislike this as well. Those who do this are the one's usually who are insecure about themselves. Its best not to bring attention to it when they do.

I am in your shoes. Yes, the world is full of comparison. We always do the same things even we dunt like that. Now, I am being compared with my aunt's son and daughter. The story begins, I graduated two years ago and worked out of my hometown. when i call my parents, sometimes they tell me how much money my aunt's son can make, how comfortable they are. In this condition, I would be under much pressure due to empty pockets and must work hard. Actually, my aunt's son has graduated for more than 10 years. After that, I dunt want to call more often.

i think most people dont like to be compared to others. but this is life, this is a competitive world and everyone has to compare to other people for entire life. people are used to compare when they are at school, at work, in social life, or sometimes even in a relationship... what can we do about it??
