Comparison itself is neutral, not the problem. The issue is when you judge yourself as good or bad based on the results. Use it to learn: watch people ahead of you to see what they do differently, and study those excelling in specific areas to understand why.
I don't know about the inner workings of anyone, myself included, but I don't think comparison is good or bad. I think it's just a measurement tool. They are here, I am here. When they post, they get more views. When they run things, they get more than I do, or they get less than I do. And the part that gets people in trouble is the second part where they say, and therefore I am bad, or therefore I am good. And so I think comparison is a very useful tool to figure out where you stand and where you can improve. And I think that's all it is. I always want to compare myself. I want to look at other people who are ahead of me and see what they're doing that I'm not doing so I can learn. And if someone's behind me, I don't really compare much at all because like, why bother? Or if they are behind me but they're better than me at something, then I want to figure out why they're better than me at that thing. That is the chief use of comparison. Everything else, I don't see the benefit.
