Everyone is screwed up, broken, clingy, and scared, even the people who seem to have it more or less together. They are much more like you than you would believe. So try not to compare your insides to their outsides.

Okay so @maedaeeee drew this amazing drawing of Ev (I have no idea what it is but I’m rolling with it hehe) and ISTG it looks like me. Here’s a comparison:

Ignore my hair is kinda flat bc I need to wash it, but it’s really close when my hair is fluffier!

(this is the closest you guys are getting to seeing my face hehe)

I genuinely will never understand the beef some fans of Hellsing & Castlevania have with each other, which is mostly shown on tiktok. What even is the point? Everytime i check comment sections to get an opinion on proper explaining of the situation its just some people talking about "which alucard is better" etc.

Has to be one of the most pointless debates because why are we comparing Dracula (alucard from hellsing) and Dracula's son (castlevania) who literally arent even 100% similar in any way. Both of them have their own good elements and can be enjoyed as a character without meaningless debates that lead to the fandoms having a bad image.

I hope people realize that it's not ruben and shauna the most alike, but niall and shauna. Let me explain, both of them have been compared countless of times to a deer and both of them has a child with their homoerotic lovers partner.

Still not clicking? That's fine, they have also been haunted by their homoerotic lovers ghost for nearly 2 decades (despite ruben not being dead), and both of them are manipulative, self destructive and evil.

HOW TO STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS

Honestly, most of the comparing that we do stems from social media, so it’s important that the time that we spend on social media is mindful.

However, in order to stop, I need you to do some things for me <3

Declutter and cleanse your social media accounts. This means unfollowing anyone and everyone who doesn’t make you feel or want to act like your best self and curating your feeds(use the not interested button!)

You have two options, either go social media free for how long you deem necessary or limit your time on social media to less than 2 hours~ the second option is more for people who have to work on social networks.

Remind yourself that social media is not a reliable outlook of people’s lives, and that many companies advertise their products to make you want to compare yourself to someone in order for you to make a purchase.

Catch yourself when you start to compare, because most of the time we do it subconsciously but it affects us on a conscious level.

Instead of comparing yourself to someone, compliment forwarded or in your mind, e.g. she’s prettier than me -> she’s so pretty. Not only do you stop comparing yourself, but if you’re internally kind to others, your mind will soon have that same energy towards you.

Be realistic. Stop comparing yourself to people who’ve had years of experience, have genetics that help them, or have worked really hard to get to their level e.g celebrities, pro athletes, models etc. This also can apply to your peers, you never know how hard they’ve worked.

Know which areas you tend to compare yourself to others. Work, academics, appearance, lifestyle etc. Usually, this is a call for us to grow.

Start comparing yourself to the better version of yourself. They are the only person you should compare yourself to.
