RE: Should we compare ourselves with others?
Dear @the-prithvi
It has been a while since I read one of your publications. As usual - solid read (upvote on the way).
I found this topic to be quite interesting. Especially since I've noticed that most people who often use social media platforms are also the ones who compare themselfs to others. A lot. And most of the time those comparisons are making them feel unhappy about their own lifes.
After all, instagram is nothing more than a DEMO version of our lifes. I even tell my own wife to look at her own instagram and tell me if what she sees is our REAL life?
We all should compare ourselfs to ... ourselfs. To see how did we change. Did we progress or not? Are we happier with ourselfs than we used to be? Or unhappier.
Those kind of comparison do seem to make more sense in my opinion. Wouldn't you agree?
ps. Enjoy your weekend buddy :)
Cheers, Piotr
Hii @crypto.piotr ,
I couldn't agree more ! One of the best ways to improve/ progress in every aspect of our life is to compare with ourselves . How we were yesterday ?
How are we changing things today based on what we did from yesterday ? When we ask these questions to ourselves and work on them We see real growth.
The point you mentioned about "Instagram" is very true , Most of the people post the best scenes/part of thier life and Insta was built in such a way that we compare our current self to thier best selves. While in reality, the person posting might not even be as happy as they seem to be in a photo. Comparing ourselves with others is kind of built in to us due to the world we live in , Hence we need to keep reminding ourselves that the real comparison is the one that we do with our own past.
Glad you found this blog intresting and thanx for sharing your thoughts on this topic :^)
