Do you compare yourself to others?

I know I have several things which is very different form the others. I could say in a way I am somewhat different from the others. but I am not afraid of it. I proclaim my rarity! I know I am the most valuable creature on earth because God created me. Have a nice day!

Sometimes I compare myself to others. I thought that why others are much better or much richer than me. But, when I remember motivators when they said that, we all are unique and we have our own transcendence compared to others. We have to be confidence with our abilities.

Too bad some other people only knows that fact but unfortunately they can't sink in on the fact that we are different and unique as individual in other ways. I don't care if a lot of people would not acknowledge it. That is frustrating to other people of comparing themselves to others just to look great for themselves but what they don't realized is that they are becoming depress or they are kind of people who are totally insecure to themselves.

if we compare our self to other people is to motivate us and to make us become a better man. so i think is no matter. but if we compare ourself physically to other who have a better look by their physic so what a waste time....,

I do compare myself to others A LOT especially to successful and good ones because I am using it as my motivator to do well with my job and to treat others with compassion.

i agree with you, having a role model is a perfect idea for improving ourselves but not to the point when we are over attached to our role models, we just want to be as perfect as them. We have our very own uniqueness that we can improve and role models are just an inspiration for us to be driven enough to improve our selves. i hate comparing people, coz every person are not the same, we are different in so many ways.

i have done this to myself a couple of times, i do admit it. =( sometimes i tend to compare myself with others and see what i can improve on (this is the positive side of it). But then of course when it becomes really frustrating it is no longer a healthy habi. I have already thought about this and has stopped doing so. =)

I am guilty of comparing myself with others. But I don't get very serious about it. I'm not going to deny the fact that I get envy with other people that are better than me. Especially if they have something that I really want but I can't have in terms of materials things. sometimes I even ask myself why I am not born rich like other girls. But I just think about how I can work hard to get whatever I want and now that I have my own child. I work hard to give him the life I dreamed about.

No I do Not Like Comparing With Others. Just As You Said We are unique In Some Way. And I Am Happy With Myself As An Individual

I do use to do so when I was child and young going to school and college. But once I have grown up and started earning and got married I stop comparing myself with others. I know what I am and what I am doing.

That is true, Dominique! Will you be available to speak to my inlaws? Coz they seem to be comparing people around them and I am really getting annoyed over it!

Comparing has become human nature. Although can help evaluate yourself, but not rare habit led to envy and jealousy. Therefore, try to stop comparing and start to respect yourself and others.Eliminate the habit of comparing, it is not easy. Required humility so great. Therefore, try to change your mindset to not always feel lacking. Slide your mindset to concentrate on what you already have and make you happy.

I think that would probably normal phenomenon for people to compare others with yourself.In order to find your disadvantages and improve your advantages.But i won't make it passive attitude.lol,we all unique and special.

As Max Ehrmann wrote on his Desiderata and I quote, "if you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself". Why compare yourself to others if you know you are born to be unique, amazing and beautiful in your own rights?

Yes I compared to others . Sometimes I am a negative thinker . I know negative thought is not good in our life . But sometimes my mind going to negative thinking.

hi Dominique, There are time that I found myself comparing myself to others. It was those times that I don't appreciate myself much. I always complain my status, my looks, my brain. I wish I could the person I am dreaming of. Pretty, popular, intelligent and rich. Then, one day I had a talk with my high school classmate. She told me that all she wanted to be is in me. She wish she had a stable job and was able to graduate in college. After that, I realized that there are a lot of things that I should be thankful for. I agree with you that each one of us is unique. We may not have what we wanted to be but for sure, there is always one thing that makes us unique from others. Not all rich people are happy. Not all pretty faces have good lovers. Not all popular people are perfect in everything.

Good day Dominique25, With regard to your post, it is really ideal not to compare oneself to others. So as to avoid bad criticism at all. However, I think comparing cannot really be avoided. Hence, there are times, the more you avoided to do comparison, the more you are prone to compare things and traits. And this should not be done, since every individual has their own unique characteristics, same thing as what you have said. Although at some point individual has similarities, but in general, they have more differences.

if you want to be a better person dont compare yourself to others. Instead, compare yourself to your self. Beat your personal records. go over what you've already achieved. Because when you just base off of others, when you've surpassed them, there is nothing more to compare to and your growth stops there. Besides, you are the best person for the job of being yourself.

comparing yourself to others is a thing that sometimes we do. it is bad that other person comparing us to an animal =) sometimes i do comparing my girlfriend to my ex. she hates me everytime that I comparing her. But i dont like to compare myself to others too. that's why I really quite understand her.

Comparing yourself with others and looking up to someone for inspiration are two different things. If you keep comparing yourself with others, you lose your own perspective. I mean who wants to be a copy of someone else. We all are unique with different talents and abilities, so why compare. Someone might be prettier than you, stronger than you, more intelligent than you, but they can never be you.
