Why compare yourself with others?

No one in the entire world

can do a better job of being you than you.

I realized I was comparing myself — and stopped

For a long time, I didn’t even notice I was doing it. Scrolling through other performers’ profiles became part of my routine. I’d see their numbers, their looks, their rooms, their lighting setups — and quietly subtract value from myself. Not out of jealousy, exactly. It was more like a slow erosion of self-trust.

The tipping point came on an ordinary evening. I clicked on a model’s room who had just gone live. Everything about her was perfect: flawless skin, a gorgeously arranged space, the kind of energy that pulls people in. But instead of envy, I felt something else — fatigue. A kind of quiet inner sigh. I wasn’t inspired. I was tired of measuring my worth against someone else’s image.

That moment made me pause.

The truth is, comparison is baked into the structure of this industry. Rankings. Leaderboards. Visible tips. Public praise. You’re constantly shown who’s “doing better” — and almost never told that your pace, your values, your boundaries matter more than any metric.

What helped me shift wasn’t a single realization, but a practice: redirecting attention. Back to what I enjoy. What feels sustainable. What lets me sleep well at night.

The work became easier when I stopped performing for an imaginary standard and started building a rhythm that belonged to me.

If you’re in that place — where scrolling feels more like a ritual of self-doubt than curiosity — it’s okay to stop. You’re not falling behind. You’re just returning to yourself.

I wanna keep working on myself, but it's hard, you know. Keep forgetting to #stopjudging others, and to quit #compairing myself to others. It gets tiring looking at everyone else.

Goals

The most important lesson I am trying to teach myself right now is to not beat myself up. We do this in many ways, judging our body, holding onto guilt, punishing ourselves for being happy at the cost of someone else. Not to mention the food and booze we intake can some times beat us up.

But for what reason? Why do we worry so much, and constantly go over situations in our heads that may or may not be real. We focus so much of our mind on gossip, and how other people live their lives and we compare ourselves to them. WHY?

My goal for 2018 is to cut myself some slack. To not worry about what others are doing, and focus on myself. Grow stronger, healthier and wiser each day.

Everyone is their own person

Comparing two people to one another is hardly fair

A flower do not think about competing with the one next to it - it just Blooms.
