Why the comparision?

‘Samne wale padosi ka beta IAS ban gaya’!Ever heard of this statement?

Probably, most of us have.

If you’re anything like myself and the majority of the people I know and work with, you compare yourself to others more often than you’d like to admit.

A commenter a few days ago advised me to visit the website of another blogger.

It goes something like this. I was quite impressed after looking at his website. However, my instinct began telling me how much superior this person was to me in a critical, negative manner. He’s humorous, attractive, and extremely tech-savvy. Look at him — he’s a hunk.

Are both of the instances relatable?

On the basis of our own self-evaluation and/or the belief that others are superior to us, we frequently feel inferior to them.

If we feel inferior to someone else or even superior to them, we fall victim to the comparison trap, which keeps us mired in a negative cycle. In both instances, it’s really just the other side of the same coin.

How can I be less than my friend ? I would choose iPhone 14 as he is purchasing 13 model.

All of this is an endless ego game that will ultimately result in our defeat. Judgement, worry, criticism, alienation, loneliness, and other negative emotions are brought on by comparison to others.

The way which our parents raised us, the social race, and the way we interact with the world now through social media, it’s natural for us to compare ourselves to others. Ironically, everyone has these feelings. We frequently believe incorrectly that these uneasy and unhealthy thoughts of inferior/superior comparison would go if we were rich, godd physique, a better job, big home, had more external success, met the “perfect” partner, or whatever. But this is untrue.

It is simpler to put oneself in a comfortable situation by letting go of your inferiority complex.

Recognising our feelings of envy for someone else’s success, ability, triumph, or quality is an effective way to let them go and break down any barriers we might have with them or their experience.

Admit your resentment, perhaps in front of someone else.It’s crucial to have an overwhelming sense of compassion and empathy.We are more likely to experience pleasant emotions and results in our lives the more ecstatic we are willing to get about other people’s achievements, skills, and experiences. There is an infinite supply of fulfilment and success, and when we recognise the achievements of those we set ourselves against, we are reminded that there is plenty for everyone and that we are all capable of contending with and manifesting amazing things in our own lives.
