Hi everyone! Today I'm going to be writing a post which is a little different to what I should usually would do. Usually I would upload ether a review, a favourites or maybe a tutorial but today I'm going to be writing about quite a deep subject. As you can probably tell from my title I am going to be telling you why you shouldn't compare yourselves to others. If this doesn't apply you then ether click off now as you will just be wasting your time but I would recommend reading this as it will hopefully show you the side of things that you haven't considered yet. Anyway, lets get into it!
Firstly, you shouldn't compare your 'behind the scenes' moments with other peoples 'highlights'. This quote is very popular and it has been spread wildly across the internet, at full speed. However, most people won't actually consider what this actually means. Lets be honest and say the people would you are comparing yourselves to will all usually have the same traits or features:
- Society's definition of 'pretty'
- Wear flawless makeup
- Have millions of great clothes
- Popular
- 'In-shape'
- etc...
Everyone has bad moments and times where things don't go right. That's what makes us human! These people that you think are completely perfect are human so they will have these moments too. They might even have more experience in hiding when things aren't right. When you are comparing yourselves to them, you wouldn't be considering this so this would result in you comparing your 'behind the scenes' to their 'highlights'. Where the quote says highlights, its obviously referring to these people's best and most showed off moments. By saying 'showed off moments' I am showing that these people have a clear idea of their best and worst moments so they are able to hide the ones that aren't as good and then make the best ones easily seen.
This next point is quite obvious to many people, however it can be missed by a fair amount of people. Comparing yourself to other people, who you think are perfect, it usually an everyday subject. You may not notice but you are always sub-consciously doing it, its what makes you human. When you do this it is actually bring down your mood. Also, it brings down your level of trust in others.
Comparing yourself is a part of human nature. But it shouldn't be others compared against you. It should be your old self and your current self.
In conclusion, the message that I'm trying to get across is that life is good because we are different. Can you imagine a world of just white? Or everyone being 30 years old? Life would be boring, wouldn't it?
