Do you often compare yourself with other people? Whether it's the number of goals you've scored at football or how many books you've read, it's easy to compare yourself with someone else. It's a natural behavior that helps humans learn from each other, live happily together and achieve more. However, it's not always helpful and you can find yourself falling a comparison trap (陷阱).
Comparison can make us feel good and bad about ourselves. "Comparing up" means seeing someone is better than you and using that to encourage yourself to aim higher and try harder. However, sometimes it can make you feel bad about yourself and undermine your confidence. "Comparing down" is when you see someone who seems like they're not doing as well as you. This might make you feel you're doing well, but it can also stop you wanting to improve.
How do you stay away from comparison trap? Notice how people make you feel and spend time with friends who celebrate your advantages rather than compare themselves to you. Find ones that make you laugh or show you lovely places instead. Finally, pay attention to your own achievements and how you can improve. The best person you can compete with is yourself.
Let's make positive comparisons. This means you value your own achievements and not someone else's. Celebrate progress instead of the final result. It doesn't matter if someone is better or faster than you, it's important that how hard you try. Set some goals and pay attention to your progress. Instead of saying "I can't do it", say "I can't do it yet".
