Why is everyone better than me at everything?

[karoline]

I constantly feel like this these days and I am very unmotivated to do anything because I feel like I won't be good or enough for it. Do you feel like that sometimes? How to overcome this feeling?

[Purpleronnie]

That’s low self worth , I think a great many of us can feel like this from time to time. You need not compare yourself to anyone , as when you feel low you will automatically consider their life is better if they are better in some way. You should spend time with friends and let them remind you of your qualities and maybe try helping and supporting people , this could be family , friends or even through charity. Knowing you can make a positive difference will help improve your outlook generally. Maybe you have impossibly high expectations of yourself and beat yourself up when you’re less than perfect? , this is common too. Start with given yourself a goal or target and then breaking it down into tiny steps of chunks and complete those , this will remind you that you can do anything you set your mind to and break the low cycle you find yourself in


Most importantly , never feel you are alone everyone can stumble a little sometimes , you can and will get past this.

1. You will never get good at anything unless you practice. The best athletes still practice constantly. So do the best musicians, bakers, carpenters, architects, and any other job you can think of. They all figured out long ago that you will make minor mistakes when you practice, but if you pay attention and learn from those mistakes, you can't help but improve.

2. Perfection is rarely achievable. If people only did things they could do perfectly, we'd all be trying to scratch out our survival in the dirt.

Quit setting such ridiculous standards for yourself. Perfection is far less important than sincere efforts. Sincere effort will allow you to eventually approach perfection, but you likely will never get all the way there, and that's OK.

Because your mind is playing you. You think everyone is better while you might be better at things than others, we're all different. Fact, there will always be someone better than you at something, but everyone, no. Stop comparing and look at yourself instead and if you're unmotivated and not doing anything, you won't get better. Be the change and actively work towards what you want to be.

Stop.

Don’t ever say that again.

You are you, don’t compare yourself to others.

You only see what they want you to see.

They might be comparing themselves to you and wish they were as good as you.

Relax and compare yourself to yourself, nobody else. It will hurt you.

Motivation!

In life no one is perfect & when it comes to being good at things some people are good at some things & some people are good at other things.

As for you either you have to try harder without giving up or you have stop being so hard on yourself & if you think you are not good at things think again.

List five things you are good at.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

I used to feel that way growing up and in my early 20s. I used to doubt myself a lot and didn’t use to put much effort in what I was doing because I knew I was never going to be as good as XYZ. I don’t know exactly what happened but I don’t feel that way anymore and I learned my worth.

[Abbycado]

Sounds like you need to look at yourself and life in general differently. That is not a good way to see things. I can't relate.

[Rafrenc]

In grammar school and high school felt that way but later discovered I was different maybe slow but can be better than a good amount of people just learned different and I passed up people who were ahead of me later in life

[SotiCoto]

The probability of that being true is negligible.
You're certainly not best at anything, but by the same metric, you're probably not worst at anything either... let alone everything.

[CriticalCatDad]

Because you keep comparing yourself to everyone else? Just don't do that

[Anonymous]

I feel like that all the time, The only thing that helps dealing with it is working on things that you thought that you were not capable of doing or not good at.

[Anonymous]

Sounds like a you problem, if everyone is better than you then you're part of the group of people that are failures at life, and unless you improve yourself your always gonna fail.

When I was younger I was determined to be the best worker at my position. Did that. Now I match my output to my salary.
