The concept of upward and downward social comparisons
In psychology, there are two types of social comparisons: upward and downward. Upward comparisons involve comparing yourself to those you perceive as being above you, while downward comparisons involve comparing yourself to those you perceive as being below you. It's important to find a balance between recognizing your progress and focusing on your goals. Sharing knowledge with others can help maintain this balance. By doing both upward and downward comparisons, you can stay motivated and grateful while striving for growth.
