Comparison
Hey guys, sorry for radio silence for a while, been on holiday. Been thinking a lot about comparison, we all have heard that its the thief of joy, but when I step back and think about it, I think I actually get a lot of joy from comparing myself with people that are worse off. I’ve been constantly comparing myself to other people since I was a kid, and it used to hurt because I wasnt winning the comparisons. Instead of healthily removing the comparative mindset though, I just decided to outwork it, and become better so the comparison didn't hurt anymore. This works if you stay in the same place, but its been resurfacing and coming back to bite me when I think about things I cant affect as directly as myself and my own external expressions of status etc. Its hard to realise that you have these negative thoughts and drives that go against what you objectively want to think/believe, because so often our own thoughts do not feel like the thoughts of the kind of person we want to be, and that feeling of dis-integration is what makes people feel like shit all day.
Just something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently, let me know what you think, would also love to see more posts from you guys about whats been on your minds
