Zippy Promotion Forums The Chill Zone General Chat Area Comparing myself to others?

Is it okay if we compare our lives to someone else’s?

Do you think that is a healthy thing to do?

Everyone’s journey is different?

Do you do this?

Is 'compare and despair' a real thing?

I think the quote, "comparison is the thief of joy" is just about a virtue that we should all follow through with. When we compare ourselves to others we are essentially jealous of their successes, which can be mentally unhealthy to be jealous of others successes. It can create resentment. Finding happiness in yourself is one of the best mentally healthy things you can do for yourself, I think.

Comparison is good as long as you do not fixate on someone else's success and become overly jealous. Comparing yourself with someone and try to improve yourself can be very good
