In today’s time, people of all ages, from children to elders, use social media. In such a situation, everyone looks at each other’s posts and tries to change themselves by comparing themselves with others. When we see another person successful or happy, many questions come to our mind that how was he able to do this and why not me? He has this thing, but why don’t I? Her body shape is good, I also want to be like her. This is quite normal, sometimes it gives us motivation to do some work like improving our personality or reducing the increasing weight. But when you compare yourself with others too much or on everything, it is not right for you.
When a person starts comparing himself more with others, he starts feeling dissatisfied. Due to which he becomes disappointed, unhappy or irritable. Therefore, it is very important to change this habit of yours. To get rid of this habit, you can take ideas from the tips given here.
understand the reason
The roots of comparison may also be related to our society and upbringing, if from childhood we are told to look at how well their child studies! You too become like him. Gradually we start believing that we should be like others and that we are lacking. But the circumstances, capabilities and upbringing environment of every person are different. Therefore, it is most important to understand that the abilities of every person are different from each other. It is possible that the work which you are able to do properly may be difficult for the other person to do.
identify yourself
Every person’s life is not the same. So understand your route and speed. So the first step is to understand yourself. Identify your strengths, weaknesses and goals. For example, if one child gets good marks in Hindi and the other in Science. In such a situation, it is not right to compare with others. So identify the work you are capable of doing and what you like to do.
