Comparing ourselves can be natural, normal and helpful, but it can also be damaging when it turns into judgement and criticism of oneโs self, and others.
Comparing and judging myself and others is something I have struggled with my whole life.
When I overthink and compare myself to others, I let jealousy, envy or competition overtake admiration and love for myself and others.
Growing up as a sensitive person, with a lot of criticism and judgement projected onto me, greatly damaged my self esteem and self image. It often made me trust and feel that others opinions were more important than my own. It made me angry, and sad (because I abandoned myself). My awareness of this helps me stay strong and come back to myself when I feel it happening.
Because I am sensitive and a deep thinker, I accept this is my path. One of noticing the small details and feeling peopleโs energy strongly.
I am now embracing my sensitives as a superpower ๐ฅฐโจ
Whatโs your superpower?
