Learn to be happy with yourself. Then you won't care or want things that other people have as much.

They are not you and you are not them. You have your strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes and so on, others have theirs.

If you can keep that in mind it might help.

From expirence, I know that it is much harder then it sounds, but you have to learn to be confident- its the only was to free yoursel of the judgements of others.

Do what makes you happy and do right by yourself.Learn to retain a sense of humor about it all and not take the world & people too seriously.

the way that works for me is not caring what others think

the ones that i would care what they think are the people that i trust, but i will listen to their opinion and then base my decision on what i also think.

When you compare yourself to others, you are judging not only yourself, but them also. Neither is appropriate or helpful. IMHO, of course.

try to picture yourself as better than them. dont start actually thinking that you are, but try to realize that they are not any better than you, then you won't care so much about comparing yourself

Everything runs in cycles. The sun eclipses the moon, the moon eclipses the sun. The ocean tides ebb and flow. Seasons change and the world continues its cycle (orbit) through the universe.Time changes everyone of us for the worst or better. All we can do is work on things that can make us better in the future.

It's human nature to make comparisons - that's unavoidable. It's the feelings those comparisons give us that sometimes hurt us. If you compare yourself to people and consistently come up short - ie, you feel people are better than you in some way, that's when comparisons are a big problem.

I'd suggest you are forgetting to notice the great things about you. Compare yourself to others, sure. Remember the fantastic things about YOU before you start looking around. Make a list of all the great things about you so you can't forget. Read it every day if you have to.

Count your blessings - think about all the people and things in your life you love. Then imagine them being taken away from you....one by one.........not nice is it?

You should always pay more attention to yourself than other people.

Actually, only recognize the truth. Every single person out in the world is just as unique and special as you are, and you are no more beautiful, unique, or deserving as any other person on this planet.

Then, second, put the needs of the entire planet, and the survival of the human race, as your most important tasks every single day.
