Social comparison is toxic and dangerous as it can be when it's out of control. We compare ourselves to others to understand our behavior, we also get a sense of gauging how we're doing in life,. And this has an evolutionary function. The more similarities we have with people, the worse our level of social comparison is likely to be.
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.
