How I Stopped Comparing Myself to Others

"How to stop comparing yourself" is a big topic, one that I could make several videos about. Let me know if you'd like more in-depth videos on this topic.

The reality is you can't truly compare yourself to others, because when you do it, you're not actually comparing yourself to others, but you're comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone's highlight reel.

“The reason you started comparing is because someone else decided to compare you first” 💘😭 That hit home!

Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.

sometimes I feel like I intentionally add toxicity when I go look at certain accounts on Instagram. It's like an addictive feeling mixed with curiosity despite knowing I end up feeling crappy about myself in the end.

The best thing I did was unfollow anyone on social media that made me feel like shit. Now, I only follow accounts that inspire me or people I care about. Truly life changing!

As a person, who had been bullied for being chubby, it is so unbelievable to hear, that skinny girls had issues about being skinny... I guess people judge everything. Growing up I always thought that life would be easier if I was thin...and now I hear a person, who has the body type I always dreamed about... Talk about how they tried to be thicker.. This is sad.. Nothing is good enough for society, so we must just love ourselves and show it to the world and those haters.

Since quitting social media, my life has become the best it has ever been. No more toxic people, no more stupid posts, no more self-comparison. I absolutely love it. I feel like I can properly enjoy life and live it to the full now. My perspective on everything has changed.

It would be hard to compare Lana to anyone else. This is the only YouTube channel that legitimately makes me smile while i think.

I definitely agree with separating yourself from things that are pulling you into envy. I used to think this made me weak because I couldn't handle certain things without being jealous but honestly once I started removing things from my life, I started to care about them less as well. Just giving things attention is what made them important in my life and once I no longer gave them time, they stopped mattering as much
