We're not very good at being unbiased judges of things and seeing things objectively. Do you really want to derive your self-confidence from inherently and unconsciously bringing others down so that you can feel better? It's important to remind ourselves, social comparison is not the truth. Yes, there are obviously external indicators of success, but most of the time, when we are comparing ourselves to others, that is just a reflection of what we're insecure about.
This week we discuss social comparison, the good, the bad, the psychology. We talk about why it is that we compare ourselves to others, the impacts of social comparison and how to break the cycle of judging our attributes and characteristics compared to others.
