You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used to compare myself to you.
I realize that I am not happy with myself, but when I observe others or ask them questions about themselves, I find my self comparing me to them. I try to find where it is I actually fall into the slurry of life. Is this normal?
Have I achieved enough (compared to him/her?) Am I better off (compared to him/her?)
What makes him/her better or worse than me? When I see someone who is/has wasted their life away, I feel better. (That sounds sick) When I see someone who has reached great achievement, I feel bad.
I do know that when it comes to being better off with respect to how I feel about myself, I am not. Otherwise I wouldn't have to compare.
