My ex girlfriend ended up pushing me away because I was “too good for her”, cause I had my shit together and she didn’t. If you go on her social media, she’s always happy/her life is amazing. She’s a pretty girl and has thousands of followers but not a single one knows the behind the scenes. I love the girl but that alone showed me how fake social media is.

This is why I’m afraid of relationships. People will leave you just like that despite you loving them more than anything. It always starts of amazing but how can live with the fact that the person you fcking lived the most just walks out. I’d be suicidal and depressed bruh.

[@connorbeaudet4013]

@@gm836 tbh man it took a few months, I made some mistakes, I was pretty clingy but it’s also cause my life was going pretty shit and I had nothing to look forward to but her. Did that drive her away, maybe?. But after 2 months I kinda realized that yeah I actually was too good for her. Do I miss her of course but I’m glad it happened and needed it as a kick in the ass

*”Comparison is the thief of joy”* - Theodore Roosevelt

[@TakeBackYourMind997]

Top things that helped me with comparison are: - Understanding that we all have such different lives and circumstances that comparison between you and another person can NEVER be a fair test. - You never truly know someone, so it's impossible for you to actually compare yourself to them. You're comparing your entire self to your outside perception of them. - Everyone's losing the comparison game. The people that make you feel like shit, have people that make them feel like shit. In that sense, we're all equals. - Even if comparison was completely valid, it still doesn't help you in any way at all. So there's no reason to do it. You have full permission to let go of those thoughts for this reason. - Comparison is a habitual way of thinking, and habits can be changed!

I deleted social media (still on KZbin, obv) since August of last year. And I must say, I went from suicidal ideation with constant comparisons and negative thoughts to mental clarity and positivity. Watching videos like these and the like, has helped tremendously. Social media can be toxic for a vast majority, and if it’s got you down, just delete it and don’t look back. I’m so glad I did.

[@moess6076]

Staying at home in lockdown and constantly checking social media made me start to hate myself and my achievements. Hopefully i will get out of it.

Delete those social media apps not all but the ones you find yourself constantly using. I removed ig, snapchat, Facebook, tiktok ect. The only app I use now is whatapp so i can communicate with my families. I'm bliss to say tho, that doing this has change my life for the better.. Social media affects your mental health negatively, It really does.

It's all a facade, but even still it's hard not to compare. I would suggest deleting those apps or limiting your usage somehow

Sometimes parents fault why we compare ourselves to others. After I discover and practice my mind not to compare myself to anyone. I'm more happy, and appreciate every small success i did. Comparing yourself to others is like a poison that slowly kills your personality, you become insecure, frustrated and depressed ... When somebody compares you to others just dont listen to them. I regret I didnt get this mindset during my college years those are depressive years of my life.

[@MamaSwole]

I love how transparent and vulnerable you are

[@user-hn9qg5qm3o]

Have you ever wondered how back in the early 1900s on up until the late 1900s there were so many advances in science and technology, so many inventions. Perhaps men and women back then weren’t nearly as distracted by what their fellow man or woman was doing, but were zeroed in on the task at hand. It seems like the more we consume ourselves with comparison and what others are doing it only stalls us and further paralyzes us from achieving goals.

[@TomBarns1]

I think we all should pause for a moment & let what he said in the video sink in ourselves. Claps for you Cole 👏🏼👏🏼 Such absolute NECESSARY knowledge is not always readily shared & hence isn't readily available. Thanks to bring this to light. It was necessary for me to hear this. 💯💫

@@Magoverso I will tell you one of my experience. KZbin's algorithm is matching your views when you just published a video. So if you could continue to share your video for a week, KZbin will share it to more people. It will take some works to share your videos, using social media, or other ways. But KZbin will give you more explosoure if you do that.

COLE! What a critical subject to cover. And I think that you have talked about this before but not as in depth. This is something that I have struggled with and still do at times...... "good enough" Am I good enough? It's hard to see my growth at times it's kind of like when you plateau in the weightlifting world. But if you compare your body to 2 years ago and if I compare where I was at 2 years ago I see growth..... but if I compare myself to last week I feel stagnant sometimes
