That is the point. Once you understand that your journey is completely unique, you realise the comparisons are pointless.

Ok so everyone may not accept you and may prefer someone else. But that's fine, you need to find the people who accept you.

U also need to find the reason why some people don accept u.

Often these ppl do not self reflect and think it's all others people fault but didn't realize they r jerks n egoists.

Trying to find a reason why someone doesn't like you can be counterproductive.

Everyone has reasons for not liking someone. Maybe their reasons are valid and you're a jerk, or maybe they're because the person is an egoistic jerk, but maybe its just because some people don't vibe, and that's OK.

End of the day its what you think of you. If you can confidently say that you've been the best person you can be and someone still didn't like you, its nothing to mull over.

Doesn’t matter. Just compare you to the you you wanna be and shoot for that. Look behind you once in awhile and see where you’re at, how far you’ve come and where you go next. That’s all there is to it.

I don't disagree with anything but I feel it is hard to have that mindset when everyone is comparing around you. When everyone is in this rat race and all of us want to get ahead in the race. The whole hustle and reach on the top takes a toll on oneself.

That's like when rich people say money doesn't bring happiness and beautiful people says looks doesn't matter. Only successful people be like 'dont compare yourself to others' lol

Thank you for calling me successful?

I have actually gone through a lot of my life wondering why I was so different and wishing I had a lot of things others had. This quote and the attitude mentioned has definitely helped me. But I realise it's not for everyone.

There might be light knowing how the system manipulate the people, if you like Rick and Morty the last episode could seen as a critic to the self exploration impulsed by capitalism.

I mean, you can find rich in the feel of nature, the new day starting, and beauty in yourself, better even if you are not as the standards. If there es empty, there is full.

Thanks, this helped me today.

I'm taking some extra time off between jobs to try to steer myself in a better career direction as well as work on some personal problems. It's scary and there's that nagging voice telling you to settle and that you're reaching beyond your capabilities.

Maybe what you’re missing to see is that this quality of not comparing themselves to others is what actually lead them to success (I shouldn’t have to say of course among other qualities)

Thank you for the offer but I dislike telling people how I feel, it makes me feel like I'm an inconvenient. And you have your own stuff to deal with, you don't need mine on that pile.

Someone I'm talking to keeps on pushing me that I should shift my course to digital art or anything art related courses because I mentioned to him that I don't like my current course which is Criminology. I had no idea what to choose for college so I just go with other people's suggestion. I wanna start working now and make my own money but I am afraid I might regret this soon. I already spent so much money for my course and I don't want it to go to waste.

Replying to Lemonade_and_Orange (#68,609)

Depends on how you actually feel about the two courses imo. If you're sure that criminology is not something you'd enjoy pursuing as a career and something art related would be definitely your taste, then I would suggest changing courses.

Money spent already is a sunk cost, you cannot recover it. The most important thing is making the right decision that will make you happy in the long run.
