do you compare yourself with your friends?

hello shibham! i think sometimes yes i do...i know its not good but i can't avoid it. sometimes, like now, whenever i see some of my friends from school, i sometimes compare my life now and their life...sometimes, i feel like they have better life than i am..coz they are able to work and have better financial standing than me...hehehe but when i think about it again, i can say that i should not feel that way, for i am also blessed...maybe not with big salaries or what so ever money matters...but i am blessed with good family and a loving husband... now, all i can say is that we should not compare ourselves to other because... [b]If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

There are times when I cannot stop comparing myself to others. I guess everybody does it. .. For me, it is alright to compare ourselves with other people for as long as we keep the comparison to ourselves and we make that as our motivating factor to achieve more.

I have never ever done this because I am unique as all of us is here so no need to compare with others. What we have others have it and what others have we do not necesarily have it so we are very different from each other. I work and get paid for that and it is the job I have chosen so I got no real frustration about what I do. So no need to compare myself with others though.

Hello friend, No,why should i have to compare myself to my friends?In friendship there should not be competition,but understanding each and individual situation.I had few close friends and we are not of the same status/level.One is more successful than the others,the other one is more financially stable than the other,the other one is much prettier than the other. But these things was never sees as a competition in our friendship.And personally i never compare myself to them.I am happy to have them as my friends. Comparing oneself is being insecured.And insecurities won't do any good to ourselves,instead of comparing or having insecurities we should improve ourselves and do what we can to reach our goals and be a successful person. Our friends success should be an inspiration too,to pursue our career and have a better life as what we dreamed of.

As much as we dotn to compare ourselves.But there will come a time that we will.If you will compare yourself to others.Make it a point that it will be a healthy comparison.

hi shibham, i m agree with ur thought. bcz we can judge our qualities and our achivements through comparing with friends. It's my own view may nt be genuine. lol

When I compare myself with with other human beings, the result will either be jealousy or ego. If I feel they are better than me, there will be resentment. I wait for them to put a wrong foot forward, so that I can point out their weaknesses to others. On the other hand, I may feel so inferior that I become depressed. If i compare myself with others and I feel I am better than them, ego develops. This brings a wave of negative feelings. The best solution is be yourself and you'll be thankful to be person who you are.

Hi Shibham, I do not compare me with my friends. I believe that comparison will create problems not only among friends but in all sectors. I think comparison will never give any good result. But definitely it gives irritations and sadness. Some parents compare their kids with neighborhood kids and hurting them by praising the other kids. Each individual is different and have different abilities. If one person cannot be good in every field but definitely have his/her own abilities and we have to find out the good side. Thanks for the add.

Sometimes i do..But, now i am happy to be me..Those who come to compare me not really comes from my mouth..but with my family member suggestion..and i am mad being compare..I think every person is unique whatever other people opinion about you..It does not really matter..only those people who are close to you..know you well..Unless you spend some hours or live with this person..that it is you could know her/his real character is..respect begets respect..

Not now to be frank. T+Yes there was a time when I would knowingly or unknowingly compare myself with my friends in many grounds but now do not feel like putting the foot there and happy I am I am for I know my strewth and weakness.

i must say i do. as a girl, first compare the appearance. if she's more beautiful than me. i'll do my best to grow other advantages that she hasnt or is weak. certainly if with the same degree, maybe will compare the salary or position. i do believe if married, maybe will compare the husband, or children, full of comparison, some will encourage u, some will depress u. so, maybe the best way is to set a goal, and then fight for it.

I will not compare everything with my best friends.I think the comparison will not good for the best friend because it will make me racing together.I will talk to friend for advising life more.

I never compare myself with my friends. First I consider that everyone is unique. We have different attitutes, plans, opinion and thinkings. What I do is just observing them. Their aspects , experience and etc. Because through them I learned. But not comparing because sometimes it can affects your self esteem specailly when you are not satisfy with your self. And also you can also hurts other through comparing. For me just observe but never compare because we are made as unique individual.

hi.......sometimes i compare to my my friends.about my education.social earning.there looks...but i don't want to copy them blindly..or compare it...i just compare and see if i have to improve i do it..what about u...

I think, sometime. When it comes to having a relationship with other people. Because sometimes they do this and do that. It was hard to explain. But hey that's just normal I think[comparing friends].
