Instruction manual
one
Recognize the uniqueness of each individual. This is the first thing you need to do. People react differently to different situations; they act on the basis of their own life experience. Each person is endowed with his own worldview, his own set of emotions, ideas about justice, beauty, etc. Comparing yourself with others does not make sense, you will never find your ideal, this process will last forever. The habit of comparing oneself is usually imposed by society, which shows people the standards of behavior, appearance, etc. This makes many people stop valuing their personality and strive for non-existent excellence. Recognize that this activity is useless, begin to appreciate yourself.

Pay attention if you are not trying to compete with others, or are you trying to look better against the rest. This is one form of comparison that prevents a person from appreciating their own successes. If you notice this behavior in yourself, try to abandon it. Imagine that the society you are in is doing one thing. The contribution of each of its members is very valuable. Compliment, acknowledge the importance of what other people are doing, and value your success.
3
Fear of being yourself and accepting yourself as you are is another reason for the habit of comparing ourselves to others. People hide their shortcomings from others, hide their views on certain issues from them if they contradict the dominant opinion. Such an attitude towards oneself leads to the fact that a person deprives himself of the right to his own position. Tell yourself that no one has the right to dictate to you what and how to do, what to believe, etc.

Constant comparison of oneself with others carries many negative consequences. For example, such behavior will never give you anything, on the contrary, each time you lose self-esteem, as well as the feeling that you are a self-sufficient person. You are also wasting your time. Comparison with others is an endless process; you will always find reasons to continue it. In addition, you are immersed in a series of meaningless worries instead of enjoying your own life.
5
If you have an irresistible desire to compare your achievements, take yourself as a reference. Compare yourself to yourself. Always think about what you can offer others, what contribution you can make to the common cause. Learn to rejoice at even your insignificant successes no matter how they look against the background of the work of the people around you.
