How often and how much do you compare yourself with others?

Often.

Despite how I come across, I have the lowest self esteem ever, so it’s not unusual for me to compare myself with others who I perceive to be better than me, or what have you.

I wish I could be totally unselfconscious, but I’m not. I don’t think about it much, but I think I’m aware all the time and in some part of my mind I’m comparing and coming to conclusions. I’m generally content with the comparisons, but it’s taken a long time to get that comfortable with myself.

It happens every day. I may be old, but there is no immunity to learning from others, unless one cuts off that desire.

I cant say that I compare myself to others as much as others remind me of myself when I was happier about my appearance. So if that is comparing myself to others then I do it quite often.

I can’t even imagine doing that. I have nothing in common with….anyone.

I tend to compare my professional capability and fighting ability quite a bit, but other than that I have never compared my self to anyone. Some times I may compare my self to someone very different, just to try and get some insight in to what they are like.

Eh, not much. To be honest, I couldn’t care less what other people think of me, and this means I don’t care about what we have in common and what we don’t.
The times I do compare though, are in the classroom, academically.

All the time, and I’m usually disappointed with the comparison. Pretty much everyone I meet is either better-looking, wealthier, smarter, taller or more talented than me.

I always compare myself to others. It’s all about self improvement for me. It’s good for my ego to think that I look good compared to another girl but I also like to look at pictures of beautiful models and keep myself down to earth. (This sounds like boasting haha.) Also if I notice someone else being annoying, I’ll make a mental note not to do what they’re doing that’s making them annoying so I don’t annoy others. Anything else, I don’t really compare myself to others about.

Not so much. I’m like Popeye the Sailor Man: I yam what I yam and that’s all what I yam.

Never ever…zip! Well once in the shower at the “Y” but he was a freak and I have since gotten over it!

What is the sense of comparing? nope, nada, don’t do it.

Are you talking about sneaking peaks at the urinal or what?

Not anymore. I grew out of all of that.

Very often. I was taught at a young age that I needed to be better than everyone else at everything, and failing to do this resulted in disappointment from my parents. I have yet to shake that mentality.

A lot of the time, I know I shouldn’t half the time though, but it just happens.
