Lately this is the reason for my depression. I keep on comparing myself to others and I see they are better than me. But it's not a good thing to do.We forget to see what we already have by focusing on others. You need to feel content of who you are. Feeling jealousy is not self love. We need to appreciate everything we have in this life. This is what I learned from the book " Love yourself: The 30 day challenge: Love yourself like your life depends on it

Comparing yourself with others is never going to be good. There will always be someone better off but there also always be someone worse off. Comparison doesn't help at all.

Maybe downward comparison would help more than upward comparison

@averygirl72 Yes, maybe. It sounds like you need to work on increasing your self-esteem.

There is no limit to comparing ourselves to others and that will land us in trouble. Doing our best should be our motto.

There's really no end to comparing ourselves. Just do whatever we can and have peace with ourselves
