Are you constantly comparing yourself with other people, /jp/?

During my most depressive moments, I can't help but imagine the concurrent happiness that everybody else must be enjoying.

Only my looks. It sure is shitty having severe acne when you're in your twenties.

How can you not? Whether it be their wealth, happiness, appearance, possessions, location, social status (>>/soc/), or the degree to which they are a true NEET, you are always either jealous of others, or looking down on them.

I mostly compare myself with other people because I grew up with an inflated sense of self worth that is only within the last 4-5 years beginning to see reality. Ultimately, I don't think I'm worthless, but at the same time I'll likely never be the best in anything. It's something 95% of people have to live with, and the other 5% (along with anyone able to bullshit well enough) will rub in their face.

I don't really have anyone to compare myself to.

I don't compare. I assimilate.

When I'm depressed, it's because the whole world is shitty, not just my life. Maybe it's just a way to comfort myself, by telling myself that there's no way anyone else can be happy. But I'm certainly not naive enough to think that everything would be joyful and happy if I just had a girlfriend, a lot of friends and a good job.
