I have a friend who, hate to admit it, is better than me. Way better social skills, fitter and better spoken. Sure there are things I know I’m better at but since I’m lonely atm and he’s got good circle, I can’t help but feel less than even though I’m the one whose accomplished more. Part of me wants to disappear for a while and learn somethings I’ve been putting off. I kind of don’t want to be scene at the moment. Does that make sense?

By being proud of being me and of my accomplishments and skills.
By accepting that everyone is on a different journey and that we are different people.
By constantly working on and improving myself.
No one can be better than you, unless you admit they are.
Same here but for me the feeling of being fraud creeps in overwhelms me sometimes. I reset when I talk with my mother for sometime. She tells me I am the most awesome guy that ever existed and I tell her the same. I am happy again
I try to be the best person I can be.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
If I meet someone fitter and better spoken than myself I don’t feel jealous but I do feel the urge to Git Gud, as the kids say.
