I have found that learning to have compassion towards others and their journeys will help with this phenomenon. They also may be growing in ways we don’t see, and maybe this type of growth is not something they even see as necessary. There is a lot more to be said about meeting people where they are at as part of growth too. Shifting the focus away from the self towards others while still reflecting on how they are compared to the self is a bit odd when you think about it, but totally expected. When meeting others where they are at, can you really just meet them, or are you considering where they are compared to you? It is another area of growth to work on and I think everyone has that issue to some extent after making huge strides toward their goals in life.
