The Power of Comparison
Changing the people one compares oneself to can significantly alter one’s emotional state and life trajectory. Many individuals use an idealized version of life as a benchmark, often leading to unhappiness due to unrealistic expectations. This benchmark tends to create a composite of societal and familial norms that dictate what the 'good life' should look like, which can cause feelings of inadequacy when reality doesn't match these ideals. Recognizing where these comparisons come from allows for a conscious reevaluation of one's standards and expectations in life.
