<p>Don’t you hate it when someone is better than you in all aspect of life, smart and brain, appearance, personality, and mostly their life. Honestly, I just feel like a failure while comparing myself to them and feel like I need to step up my game. However, as hard I try, I could never reach their standards. I don’t really like take a backseat and staggered my way through life.</p>
<p>Your flaw is that you compare yourself to other people. You should separate yourself from all of the others and focus on what strengths you have that other people would appreciate and want. You should be worrying about what will happen in your life and not what they are doing with theirs; live your life the way you want to and work to the best of your ability. If you do all of this, than success will come to you.</p>
<p>What RocknPiano said.</p>
<p>Plus we all end up in the same place anyway (a hole in the ground).</p>
<p>“Don’t you hate it when someone is better than you in all aspect of life, smart and brain, appearance, personality, and mostly their life.”</p>
<p>I don’t hate it. I just accept it and concentrate on living my life.</p>
<p>But does it make you want to improve yourself even more? Especially if someone had better knowledge on particular subject, do you want to better yourself or should I just live my life and see what happens?</p>
<p>I hate it and try and use it as inspiration to become like that ‘‘perfect’’ person or better</p>
<p>no one is better than anyone (if this makes sense).</p>
<p>(e.g.) Bill Gates is sooo good at technology, people may say he’s better than EVERYONE.
Michael Jackson was soooo good at music, people may say he’s better than EVERYONE.
so who’s better Bill Gates or Michael Jackson?..or Oprah or Martha Stewart and so on.
everyone is unique, everyone has their thing they’re good at. THERE IS NOT ONE PERSON WHO’S BETTER THAN YOU…at all aspects!</p>
<p>…i don’t know if this makes sense…but do you see what i’m trying to get at?
JUST BE YOU</p>
<p>Nobody is like that for me. They are either at my level or worse. This is probably going to change in college though.
Also, you need to realize that the people you describe have personal problems of their own, probably just as rough or even rougher than yours.</p>
<p>Nope. I am uber competetive! It just makes me want to improve!</p>

<p>No. I don’t place my self-worth on intelligence, physical appearance, or personality.</p>
<p>I don’t know what “mostly their life” means. How do you know their inner life isn’t a living hell? Even if they have a truly wonderful life, I still don’t care. I care about my life, not theirs.</p>
<p>I used to compare myself against others until I realized others were comparing themselves against me.</p>
<p>People who just have to make it to the top all the time are often those annoying Type A personalities who sabotage their classmates for higher grades, don’t help others in need, and keep everything to themselves. I don’t like people like that.</p>
<p>As hard as it is to not do it, really, don’t compare yourself…^ as everyone else has stated. Focus on you. If they have traits that you admire, you could try to develop those too - in your own way.</p>
