Comparing yourself to others is based on incomplete information. You see only the visible success, not the years of struggle behind it. Everyone's at a different point in their journey, and measuring yourself against someone else's highlight reel will wreck your mood and self-assessment.
Literally nothing good can happen when you compare yourself and your success to the success of somebody else. Oftentimes we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg, and maybe we see a success story, but we don't realize that they've gone through hell the last 20 years to get there. And then if you realize that, you're like, oh snap, like I actually am doing pretty good compared to where that person was. They're just further along in the journey, maybe. We don't know yet. We're basing our entire life and personality and mood on what we see in an instant. It's human nature, but it's also dangerous.
