Why Comparing Yourself to Others Is a Waste of Time
<center><h2>𝓖𝓻𝓮𝓮𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼</h2></center>
<div class="text-justify">

We live in a world where everyone is judged on their ability to compare themselves to others. From our jobs to our looks to our achievements, we’re always looking for ways to set ourselves apart from others. It seems like everyone has a comparison mindset. And, unfortunately, when we compare ourselves to others, we almost always end up feeling bad about ourselves. The truth is, comparing ourselves to others is a waste of time. It doesn’t matter if we’re comparing ourselves to an acquaintance, a stranger, a friend, or a family member.

The comparison process is the same. When we compare ourselves to others, we end up feeling bad about ourselves. This is because we’re comparing our current self to an alternative self that exists in the background of others. And when we compare ourselves to others, we’re almost always going to feel worse than they do. So, how can we get rid of this comparison mindset?

### Figure Out What You Really Have to Be Self-Confident

So, how can we get rid of this comparison mindset? We can figure out what we really have to be self-confident about.

For example, let’s say your self-confidence is tied up in your body in the way you look, the shape you’re in, or the number on the scale. If this is the case, then the best way to get rid of the comparison mindset is to figure out a way to be self-confident about something else. Figure out what you really have to be self-confident about. Once you know what it is, you’ll be able to stop feeling bad about yourself when you’re not that confident about something else.

### Don’t Compare Yourself to Others
Now that we know how to get rid of the comparison mindset, let’s talk about when we should use it. One of the best ways to use the comparison mindset is to compare yourself to others who you think are better than you. When we compare ourselves to others, we often end up with a comparison mindset where we feel bad about ourselves. But this is the exact opposite of what we need. When we compare ourselves to others, we’re almost always going to feel worse than they are. When we compare ourselves to others, we’re almost always going to feel bad about ourselves.

But, when we compare ourselves to others and look at who we think is better than us, we actually shift our mindset from a comparison mindset to a superiority mindset. In a superiority mindset, we feel good about ourselves rather than bad.

### Keep Finding Ways to Prove That You’re Good Enough
The best way to get rid of the comparison mindset when it comes to our bodies is to keep proving to yourself that you’re good enough. Prove to yourself that you’re good enough to love yourself just the way you are. And prove to yourself that you deserve to feel good about yourself.</div>

I wonder how people actually sit down and do that, it is funny to me and sad on their behalf for me.

The only comparison should be with you becoming a better version of yourself

>For example, let’s say your self-confidence is tied up in your body in the way you look, the shape you’re in, or the number on the scale

Or you could figure out a way to get the body that you want..... We can have anything that we want..... It starts from our minds, then to reality.

For me, I think comparison is good when done with a honest motive. When you look at people, you just see more, and if you're honest, you'll see things that are what imitating. But as you've said, unconstructive comparison can be disastrous and that's what we almost always fall for. 

The best form of comparison however is comparing ourselves with ourselves. Comparing our past with present to identify learning points and not to identity crying points. 

Nice post bro.
