Comparisons. We all compare ourselves to others.
Sometimes through envy, sometimes through pity and I think it can be counter productive.
But what's the one thing you often find yourself comparing to others? Wealth, looks, happiness? Etc etc |

Pointless comparing yourself to anyone else... No one else has walked a mile in your shoes or had your experiences... What i do do however is look at the qualities i admire in other people and work on improving those in myself |

It's natural to compare in my opinion. It can be a positive thing if someone is doing something better than you, they may be able to help you. For example my mate is amazing at doing make I recognized this and she's now taught me how to improve my technique |

"I compare myself with people who seem to have their life sorted and in order.
I thought I'd have it all boxed off by now   "
This
The one area I compare myself to others is in personal relationships. I'd like one to last.
It's getting more difficult as I get older to be on my own, as I only have one real life friend who's not partnered up.
However, after some self analysis, I am also coming to the conclusion that I have convinced myself, at some deep, fundamental level, that I am unlovable. So when I medtvsineonecand it might develop into sobe thing, I act like a dick and push them away so that when they leave I can think to myself, I knew I was unlovable.
I think I'm pretty screwed up.... |

I'm always comparing myself to others.I know it's not a good thing but sometimes I look at someone and think "wow, I wish I had their confidence" or "I wish I had a figure like her". Just one of those things |

I agree that some level of comparison with others (albeit not always consciously) is part of human nature. I quite often wish I had more confidence with certain things (mostly work related), when I see my colleagues dealing with issues with what seems to be more self assurance than I do. That’s my main point of comparison with others I think. I work in daily though. And as you’ve said, I’m inspired by others to work on it and I learn from others how to. |

Think we're all human and that none of us are perfect. And even those who seem to have it all, rarely do from what I've seen |

Sometimes I think we all do, I know I’m guilty of it. But I know that my life’s not as bad as some people’s so I have a lot to be grateful for. I also compare myself to the old me a few years ago and that’s a positive comparison x |

Yes I do this too. I always feel really proud when I deal with something in a way I couldn’t have done years ago, when I look back and think, the old me would have sat down and cried - the new me is kicking arse!  |

I never compare myself to anybody on any level, what other people are, what they do or what they offer, its not relevant to me.
so I wouldn't say its something we all do. |

I sometimes compare my hair. 
I can't help it, years of wanting european hair and being told that was desirable has sort of left its mark. So yes. Sometimes I look at a woman with thick, straight hair and get envious. |

Luck vs effort and planning always fascinated me.... ....I'm happy as I am with my lot, but some things are beyond human control so I do wonder about fate and luck a lot, especially this time of year.....  |

As much as I try not to I often compare myself to others...especially on here! I find its happened a few times during this crazy Fab journey, but then I have a good strong word with myself and remind myself that no one else is me and comparing myself to anyone is just a waste of energy!! I may not be perfect but actually I do ok and if anyone doesn't like it.....well bye bye!!
