Some people enjoy comparing themselves to others I learned to be myself and nothing and no one can compare to that.

Are You Comparing Yourself to Others

Most people feel the need to compare themselves to others. It is the fault of those who feel left out of a group and a life that will not suit many individuals.

She often buys new clothing to compare to my lifestyle.

She just compares herself to me in whatever she wears. An individual who does not understand if any garment is not suited for one’s body shape will not suit the other.

I have been ignoring her actions. I would like to keep my distance from this individual, and I grew up thinking differently in my life and my appearance.

I have tried to compare myself to another, but not in a permanent way, I like myself for the way I am, and nobody can be me. I know I am unique and there is only one of me in this part of Croatia.

This woman wants to be something she is not and compares herself to me.

Well, she often buys herself new clothing to show me she too can have something good to wear daily. Some women like her don't have self-confidence. A simple lifestyle has taught me to be myself and to ignore those who fail to be themselves.

My problem with this woman she does not have a clue to mingle with others. She feels comparing herself to me will make her the better person, or the bigger person.

I am a few years younger than her and do not follow the styles of fashion. Whatever is trending she buys it.

My style is about what I like, and what suits me. We have great differences between us, unfortunately, for her; she does not see her differences from mine.

I like to buy what I know looks good on me, and do not care about following trendy clothing styles. It makes me different from the rest.

I prefer wearing what nobody else has and not with fashion. Everybody has what the other is wearing if bought when in fashion.

To me, it is kind of boring when one follows trendy styles. Do not compare yourself to others, you are who you are, and nobody else can be you.

In trying to compare yourself to others you will forget the real you. Remember, only you can get past your obstacles; no one will do that for you.

Comparing yourself to others does not bring light to any side of the two parties.

You should consider yourself blessed with what you have then look down on others. Before you compare yourself to another think about what you have, and how you were in the past.

Think about what got you in that position in the first place, and how you achieved the good in your life. Your great improvements would show that you are doing well in your life, so stop comparing yourself to another person.

It has nothing to do with you or how they explored those findings. Recognize yourself before recognizing someone else. If someone has a curvy body and you are slightly fatter, of course, you will compare your body to that person and wonder.

The lack of confidence allows you to feel insecure about yourself. You start to lose confidence, in intelligence, religion, or gender. You can become full of yourself and can lose yourself too. Pay attention to yourself not others.

People who compare themselves to others are not secure and are less confident. Such individuals continue to make them happy in thinking that way and will not stop their bad habits.

Why do you want to compare yourself to another?

Every individual has their successes and you too have your unique way of life. You choose to be what you have always wanted to do since childhood.

You all are capable of loving and hating one another whenever possible. If you want to achieve your goals, go ahead, and make that right for yourself.

Do not compare your life with another it is not worth it in your life with anyone!

It is not a win-win situation to be harsh with yourself.

There is no perfect being and no perfect anything in life. You do not need to compare yourself with others life is not about comparisons, but you go do so for your own needs.

When you compare yourself to others you are being foolish and when you find that divine quality and get to learn from others you become wise.

Compare yourself with yourself, not with others.

I see this behavior as ignorant, or plain jealousy when someone tries to compare themselves with me. Her constant stares at me, make me feel good about myself.

I know that she can do whatever she likes to.

In comparing herself to me she is only making herself weak and insecure.

She can buy as many dresses as she likes and have as many hairdos as she wants to, it will not change me in any way.

What will she benefit from her actions?

Do you think comparing yourself with others is a good image of yourself?

I have ignored her for the way she carries on in her conversations and I am always up for a challenge and this is one of my recent challenges.

I do not take anything to the heart of what she applies to me. I know she cannot be me in any way. No matter what she tries to do to compare with me her life will not be anything like mine.

I am just me and love the way I have become too adjusted to a new life in this beautiful country.

Have you ever compared yourself to anyone?

Do you compare yourself to someone whom you think is more attractive than you?

  • Negative thoughts can make one feel this way.
  • It is a daily battle if you make it a battle for you.
  • Look at what is important, and appreciate that in your life, rather than focus on something that is not worth the waste of your energy

What makes you special?

When people see others are living better than they are it brings on a different vibe.
