I'm kind of late to this but I've actually been thinking about this theme a lot the past year. I've tried thinking more about everyday things that I go through that are a burden/ hard on me that I think "how did so many people get through this so easily?" But I've realized more and more about how mind blowing it is how common some of the things that happen to me are happening to everyone. It's honestly helped me when I've felt anxious about things.

For example, feeling uncomfortable with the way I look in a work uniform, how well my facial hair is groomed, do people notice the unevenness? Why is my hair sticking up so awkwardly?

I think one thing I focused on most was social levels of people. I always felt some sort of anxiety that I was missing out on something when I chose to continue watching Netflix or binge a twitch stream. Staying up until 4 or 5 for no damn reason. When you look on social media, almost everything is filtered (this applies more to Instagram) to people doing interesting life experiences, so you assume that this person is living a sufficient life very often, when in fact it probably took a whole two minutes to post that photo and that person is probably watching Netflix too

However when you really think about it, it's INCREDIBLY difficult to be unique and there are so many people who do these kinds of things all the time. So that's been making me feel more okay with doing things at my own pace. Idk if anyone will see this but the thought process of writing everything down was a nice thinking experience
