Why Do We Make Comparisons?

We make comparisons to see what we could be doing better. The goal of an upward comparison is to try to figure out, okay, what can I do differently? But paradoxically as I compare myself to other people instead of creating a roadmap for progress What it can actually do is destroy my motivation. This is where if we want to understand how to stop comparing We have to understand a little bit about how these comparisons get made.
