Yesterday, I saw a TikTok video about two girls talking about how we should stop comparing ourselves because we are not the same, and I found it so true.
I think 90% of people have, at some point in their lives, compared themselves to another person. Maybe to one of their friends, maybe to a random person on TikTok, or maybe just to a stranger you’ve seen on the street. I think comparing yourself to others is something that happens throughout our lives. But in our teenage years, this feeling is stronger because we want to feel enough and fit into society. So we start comparing ourselves to others, for example: "Why does she have a better shape than me?" or "She is so beautiful, why can't I be like her?" Then we feel bad about ourselves, we get sad, and we feel jealous. Why? Because we are not satisfied with ourselves.
But as always, we have solutions:
- Accept yourself: You can't be like her because you are not her. You are beautiful too, but you can’t be her. Until you accept yourself, you will always find someone more gorgeous. But once you accept yourself, of course, you'll still see people who look good, but you won’t start comparing yourself.
- If you don’t like something, change it: It’s your life, your body, your soul. You can change it. It will be hard and a long journey, but it’s harder to look in the mirror and feel sad and disappointed. Choose the smaller "battles" that will bring you closer to who you want to be, rather than feeling stuck in comparison.d"
