There are several common reasons why people tend to compare themselves to others, including:

🔹 Low self-esteem: When people feel insecure about themselves, they may compare themselves to others as a way to validate their self-worth.

🔹 Social pressure: People may feel pressure to meet certain societal or cultural expectations, which can lead to comparisons with others.

🔹 Envy or jealousy: When people see others achieving success or having things they desire, they may compare themselves and feel envious or jealous.

🔹 Fear of failure: People may compare themselves to others as a way to measure their own potential success or to avoid failure.

🔹 Need for validation: Some people may seek validation from others by comparing themselves to others.

When this behavior becomes harmful, it can lead to negative emotions such as anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. People may also become overly competitive, constantly comparing themselves to others and feeling inadequate or resentful.

To recognize when this behavior is becoming harmful, it is important to pay attention to how it makes you feel. If you find yourself constantly comparing yourself to others and feeling negative emotions such as jealousy or inadequacy, it may be a sign that this behavior is becoming harmful. 🚩

It’s important to remember that everyone has their own unique path and journey, and that comparing yourself to others can be counterproductive to your personal growth and development. 🌱 It’s important to focus on your own goals and progress, and celebrate your own accomplishments rather than constantly comparing yourself to others. 🎉

P.S. – Taking a professional help is always better if you are harming your productivity because of constant camparison & not able to solve it by yourself.
