Caryn Meininger lands in Miami and spots two beautiful women, triggering what she calls "comparisonitis." She traces how a single moment sparks a spiral of feeling small and inadequate, and notices the pattern as a habit she keeps repeating.
We get off the plane and we all are meeting outside in the front of the airport for our shuttle. And there are two girls that are there from Miami. And I don't know if you've been to Miami or you understand Miami. I'm from there, but I left there because there's an energy of Miami. And this is my own personal experience. This is not a judgment on Miami. But there were these two women who were just these beautiful girls. Like, just. They were beautiful. They were stunning. And I noticed the patterns of comparisonitis coming up, like, immediately. And I was immediately feeling small and uncomfortable. And I was like, oh, God, this is going to be a really long week of just being around. This was a fear of mine of just being around like these goddesses and not feeling like a goddess. And so I was like observing. I was like, okay, this is a pattern. This is comparisonitis.
