Compare yourself to yourself yesterday

It’s natural and can actually help you improve. However if it’s also distracting you or causing you to make rash decisions then I would avoid social media.

Delete Instagram and within a few hours you will feel a relaxed and freeing energy. Within a few days you will gain +1 focus on your own life.

Give it a try.

Stick to yourself when it comes to comparisons, you will always lose when comparing yourself to others since you are only considering their strongest traits.

Example: I knew a guy that had no trouble hooking up during his 20's and from the outside looked so confident, was completing a masters degree supposedly. But he had a bad alcohol problem and could never get a career going and had to constantly live off his daddy's money. Outside of the hook up scene and his nice paid for apartment, he was a loser that spent his nights depressed and aimless when he was not banging and was not even close to being done with any university degree.

Be in the habit of only comparing yourself to your past. You can never compare yourself to them fairly since they have different things going for and against them. They usually have their own cross to bear in life.

Everyone is carrying a deep burden we don't talk about. Everyone is an actor covering it, hoping to forget it eventually. Carry your burden with grace and realize other people are just acting, too.

This is especially true in high school and college.

You can't. Men are competitive by nature.
