How we see ourselves and others is like a funhouse mirror, I think. Some of the smartest people just have no common sense, and advice givers often don’t follow any of their own advice.
I have also felt that everyone around me is better, and it’s a fearful thought. I’m much younger than my siblings, so I think I naturally grew up thinking I would never catch up or measure up. Always afraid of being left behind… I have tried to consciously change that thinking, but it’s a tangled web.
I try to just let go of it – live in the moment and not compare myself to anyone. As long as I can see forward progress, I try to focus on gratitude for that. Self judgement has been an extremely tough habit to break though.
