Why You Should Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

The main reason behind unhappiness

The main reason behind unhappiness is to comprate yourself with others. Just like other feelings the level of unhappiness may change. Feeling so can effect our daily life. And it may drive you to despair. The more it effects our life the more unhappy we become. And we feel like in a vicious cycle. It makes you feel hopeless, alone and helpless. Even it changes person to person, scintists say that the main reason is to compare yourself with others.

Unfortunately, people compare themselves with more successful, better, thinner etc. people a lot. And most of the time we are unaware of it and feel stressful at the end of the day.

How to stop it?

To prevent this you can start the work by recongnizing it. What makes you compare yourself?

Do you start comparing yourself once you see others life on social media? Then don't check it.

Also accepting the things that you don't have and being gladful for the things that you have is another way. Someone might have a bigger ring than you have but does it matter?

I always compare myself to others and I cannot seem to undo it. It tends to be a stimulus frequenting my system. At the end of the day, I do feel belittled and worthy of criticism. It's hard to believe in one's self and every time I do it, it's like a "fake it 'til you make it" act.

Upon reading this myTake, I think I'd stop comparing myself to others for a change. Thank you very much for this; it touched me. :)

I stopped doing that after benifited nothing from it. I find it unfair but that's just life's only way of playing its musical notes. I dealt with it by asserting myself. When people treat me differently and less of a friend who done a lot for them than others who are confident and so on I just grab a big box of scissors and cut them off from social life. Step back from them and just keep going.
