Comparing oneself to others is damaging to selfesteem from "summary" of Construcción de la Autoestima by Carlos Casaleiz Linero,Rocio Gómez Carrillo
When we constantly compare ourselves to others, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment and frustration. This is because when we compare ourselves to others, we are often focusing on their strengths and our perceived weaknesses. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy, insecurity, and low self-esteem. We may start to believe that we are not good enough or that we will never measure up to others. Comparing ourselves to others can also lead to a negative mindset where we are constantly seeking validation and approval from external sources. Instead of focusing on our own unique qualities and strengths, we are constantly seeking validation from others. This can be damaging to our self-esteem because we are basing our self-worth on external factors rather than our own intrinsic value. Furthermore, constantly comparing ourselves to others can create a sense of competition and rivalry that is not healthy or productive. Instead of celebrating the successes of others, we may feel envious or resentful. This can lead to a toxic mindset where we are constantly trying to outdo others rather than focusing on our own personal growth and development. In order to build a healthy self-esteem, it is important to shift our focus from comparing ourselves to others to embracing our own uniqueness and individuality. We must learn to celebrate our own achievements and strengths without needing validation from others. By focusing on self-acceptance and self-love, we can cultivate a positive self-image and build a strong sense of self-worth.
