Self esteem

I couldn't agree more with that statement. sometimes when people complain, others would say compare yourself to the less fortunate, but then my usual statment is why compare yourself to the ones who are less fortunate, when the only way you should be looking is up. But as you said the key to a happy life is not to compare at all.

hi,generally i do agree with you. we don't have to campare our ownself with the others. every single person in this world has own strength and negative side. no body is perfect. every single person is unique. You yourself is you. no need to compare with the others. the most important part do the best that you can be, live happily and live in peace...

The worse is to run into people that play the comparision game and let you know where they think you stand. That's the worst...the few that change others to play the game with them...they have to keep others down so they can't be better if they see something u want they try to get it, if something is important to you they try to take it. I hope that is true, maybe they'll get what there reaping...but I wouldn't wish it on them still. I'd whether they be normal. Good saying. Never heard it. It's awesome. People should live life to what they got to do, and with the cards they got. Not to the cards they wish the had. Thanks.

I think that we are all on equal playing feild in life, and it is our compulsion to compare ourselves to others that create what feels like a gap between what others have and what we lack. If we stopped focusing so much on othes, and paid attention to our own life and affairs, we would not seek outside ourselves to feel satisfied and whole.

i totally agree. I have a twin sister and I have grown into a world where we have been compared endlessly. And you know what? It affected my self esteem terribly. As a kid, I was so shy and passive. I've always thought of myself as the inferior one. But High School helped a lot. although we were still being compared it had lessened because we are no longer classmates. And College was even better because we went to separate schools. So the comparison has stopped and I begun to enjoy myself more and discovered my own strengths and talents. And we had separate friends which is something that I recommend for twins. Although it is nice to have the same set of friends, it is still better if there are people you can run to that don't know your twin because they won't hesitate to take your side. LOL
