Is the thief of joy, so they say.
Is it even possible to stop this behavior, like, at all?
When you do a job, your work performance is compared with metrics; when you ap
ply for school or jobs, you are compared for your qualifications; when you sho
p, you compare the price and the quality of the goods.
So how is it even possible that you don’t compare yourself to others? Is not
comparing an impossible feat that the feel-good self-help industry churn out a
s an idea that’s not feasible to implement as it is a innate working mechanis
m?

Because comparison is for decision making, aka you compare when it’s necessary (when there’s a reasonto).I don’t think that’s not inevitable. If you see that as a tool the most important is when and what touse it for.
