I've been approaching for over a year now. I've had sex twice (not from cold approach), and had sex with a girl last week I met from cold approach for the first time. I've made progress in the past few months (nothing too physical, more mental things. Not getting bothered when I don't get a number/get a flakey number.) I'm somewhat satisfied with my progress so far, but there's still one sticking point I have...

I tend to compare myself to others, in terms of making progress. For example, I'd read peoples' field reports about getting somewhat consistent lays and start comparing my progress to theirs. Even if they've been doing cold approach longer than I (so obviously they'd be better), I start feeling like shit. And I've realized that I'm like this with everything, even my other hobbies.

Any tips on getting over this?
