Many people have a tendency to compare themselves to others. This habit is useful if used, for example, in the learning process. However, often comparison with other people occurs on a daily basis in search of their own shortcomings. Such behavior must be discarded.
Instructions
Step 1
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 standards of behavior, appearance, etc. This causes many people to stop appreciating their personality and strive for non-existent perfection. Recognize that the activity is useless, start appreciating yourself.
Step 2
Pay attention to whether you are trying to compete with others, whether you are trying to look better than others. 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 engaged in one common cause. The contribution of each of its members is very valuable. Compliment, acknowledge the importance of what other people are doing, and appreciate your success.
Step 3
The fear of being yourself and accepting yourself as you are is another reason for the habit of comparing yourself 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.
Step 4
Constantly comparing yourself to others has many negative consequences. For example, such behavior will never give you anything, on the contrary, every time you lose your 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, and you will always find reasons to continue. In addition, you are immersed in a series of meaningless worries instead of enjoying your own life.
Step 5
If you have an irresistible urge to compare your accomplishments, take yourself as a benchmark. Compare yourself to yourself. Always think about what you can offer to others, how you can contribute to a common cause. Learn to enjoy even your insignificant successes, no matter how they look against the background of the work of the people around you.
