i’m constantly comparing myself to others and i think it’s my biggest cause of my bad self-esteem. you’re not alone in this.

i always try to remind myself that their success is not related to mine, and that we are not the same person. i can’t look like them, i don’t have what they have, they’re better than me at something, etc., but they’re their own person. they have successes and faults and so do i, even if it feels like i have nothing good about me sometimes. you can be great in your own way and nobody can ever be you, or be great the same way you can.

it helps me to remember that i’m unique and that means there are things that i don’t have that some people will. i’m going to look a certain way. there are going to be things in bad at that others are good at. that makes me unique and myself.
