Comparison between things is fine as far as it is concerned with choosing out the best one, but between people? Before comparing two people, we must remember we are all individuals with our own abilities. A person who is born in this generation is not going to be the same with the next one. It’s a misconception among so many people, especially parents, who think comparng their children with other’s produce fervor in their kids. It is a fact that some children are gifted, intelligent and capable by nature and inherit an innate advantage over their fellows. So comparing them with others offends their self-respect and makes them lose their self-confidence.

Each individual is unique and we have to accept that. Acceptance of this thing can avoid trouble to people. I just hope that we see the goodness of each individual.

@chicnthin Just a piece of my thoughts my dear. Never stop loving yourself. Even if you think others can't. Feeling your worth should start within you.

I fully agree with your views....In fact comparison is the origin of all troubles in one's life! People make their lives miserable by comparing with others! One should be contended with what they have! Yes regarding the parents they must always reember that every child is blessed with a talent which may be unique and the child may not perform well in the class! we need to search the talent and hone it to make him successful instead of comparing him with other kids! Thanks!

I was really feeling down. Especially when I see my mom admiring my relative's achievements. Although she is not directly comparing me to them. I just have the feeling that she want me to be like them.

@chicnthin , that is every parents wish that their children should outshine! But then one must realize that every individual is different and they have different IQ and aptitude ! Thanks!

That is so true. Especially when they were bragging about their child's achievements and start to compare.

I dont have confidence but they dont directly compare me to others. I think they wish me to be like them but they never said it to my face.

I think I would agree. We all have different strong point and weak points.
