Can someone hear me out please?

@Serenesky123,

Hello Serenesky(unique name!!), it hard not to wish for easier and bright ways for things to unfold in our lives. And yes it does make us turn a blind eye to what we have in our lives. Realising that we are doing so is a terrible punch in our guts. And looking behind at the opportunitis we lost is disheartening. All of us do such things once in a while. Some of us do it a little longer than others. But realising that you are doing so is a strong start to redeem things. What done is done. But it's hard not to look into our past and feel guilty for what we missed out. Try not to . It's okay if you can't sometimes. That's fine too. Just try not to stare at it for too long. It's our life , we can eventually forgive ourselves eventually. Take care

🤗 Hugs 🤗 (if that's okay )

@Serenesky123

you are very young some people feel same way but have wasted 10 or more years older then you... so you are ahead of them realizing the issue.

I think it is easy to be comparing yourself but as you get older or even just LOOK closer you might be surprised .....have seen so many who portray a good picture but the reality is different.

I work with a bunch like this fancy cars/ fancy clothes but in a financial straights as it is all a facade and IF they were laid off tomorrow bet that car would need to to back etc.... you are on the right path to work on yourself forget comparing to others.

@Serenesky123i feel you I struggle with this too and I get so upset because I have so much potential sometimes even more than other but my mental fortitude isn’t as strong as others which ruins my progression at anything I do. I’m currently jobless and broke literally rock bottom and I have no one to blame but myself.

@Serenesky123 Do you have a job?

@Serenesky123 Hello, I'm listening. You know that? I am also a person who likes to compare with other. To be honestly, I am now also. Actually, I realized I has this problem a long time ago, but I can't control myself to compare with others. I feel not good about this. However, you will know to against with this is not unhelpful. It will work! You just need time. At the same time. You should know that comparing with other is an abyss. It is boundless, and it is never stop. You should just do your best. You are not required to compare with anyone. When I realized this, I tried to change my think about this. Now, I still can't control the comparison with others very well, but I have improved in this area. Every time this feeling coming, I can deal it better. It bring me much less stress.

God bless you.

Hey we should talk to each other I have the same problem like you

@Serenesky123 you are young. Still have time to achieve lots. See a therapist. Also an occupational therapist. And try to make small goals and achieve them first.

Καταλαβαίνω ακριβώς πώς νιώθεις — και εγώ έχω βρεθεί σε παρόμοια κατάσταση, κολλημένος και συγκρίνοντας συνεχώς τον εαυτό μου με άλλους. Κατά τη διάρκεια ενός διαλείμματος από όλο αυτό το άγχος, βρήκα το https://www.mikis-crete.gr και άρχισα να διαβάζω ιστορίες για τη ζωή, την κουλτούρα και καθημερινά γεγονότα στην Ελλάδα. Ήταν απρόσμενα ανακουφιστικό — βλέποντας τα μικρά βήματα και τις δυσκολίες άλλων, κατάλαβα ότι δεν είμαι μόνος και μου έδωσε νέες προοπτικές. Μερικές φορές απλά το να διαβάζεις για την πραγματική ζωή σε ένα ήρεμο περιβάλλον σαν την Ελλάδα σε βοηθά να ανασάνεις και να επαναφορτίσεις το μυαλό σου.
