Why do a lot of people live compared to others?

in #psychology6 years ago

Hello folks, Good afternoon

Today I will write the reason why many people grow up always compared to others and stop living their own life. Every comparison made can be another moment of stress and sadness in someone's life.

The comparison we make in relation to our person and others is not something that part ' alone ' from our head. This is generated in our childhood, when we have some caregiver (usually a parent) that keeps us compared to the other person. Usually moms do that. It's a way to manipulate the children. For example, the mother wants the child to view certain clothes and uses this argument:

_ "Look, your friend is a great daughter, because she wears the clothes her mother is talking about.. "

Did you see how a simple phrase can generate a bad belief in the child and then make it take it to the adult world when it grows??

When these are done with the child, the initial idea is to manipulate it, in such a way that it can never develop its own ideas and always have to follow what the adult says. For, following the parent (which was the mother, in this case), she will be accepted and loved in her familiar surroundings.

People usually take advantage of those who think that way and tend to want to command it, for those who act like this are usually more susceptible to the command of others, because if it conflicts with another person, this or a whole group allied to it will tend to "annoy" Purposefully with her, to make her beliefs related to dislove be activated again and she will give in to command without putting her point of view.

You can develop feelings like jealousy, anger, depression, anxiety... all because you can't have autonomy and know how to put yourself before people with different visions, especially those who like to go into conflict purposefully.

If she gives her the bad luck to fall close to psychopaths, she'll be manipulated her whole life without maybe realizing that she's suffering from these things, or, even realizing it, she won't know how to handle it.

This type of child who suffers these manipulations tends to have a lower self-esteem and always be compared to others, thinking that following the idea of people, will be someone accepted. The basis of all this is the following belief: "If I am equal to people, I will be accepted by them" or, "if I do what others do, they'll accept me." This really messes with someone's life, because it will never reach its full potential, because it is always following the herd.

For this, I recommend that from an early age, caregivers help the child to develop their autonomy, making their own choices and when she puts her ideas, let her talk and dialogue to make her understand opposing viewpoints and know whether to put In the face of situations. If a child is created in a medium full of manipulation, usually coming from parents with a tendency to perverse narcissism, with much chance, will be an unhappy and manipulative adult, unless they can free themselves from those beliefs that hinder their life very much.

Thank you all for reading and good afternoon!!!!!

Many times we get carried away by admiration, even by fanaticism, we are so surprised by the talent, intelligence, sympathy or beauty of another person that we end up feeling diminished. We are depressed by the comparison and we feel that we can never be like them. And, probably, it's true but maybe not. The point is not really that, because what is really important is what qualities we have to highlight ourselves. What are our talents, our skills, our strengths. It does not matter if we are better or worse than others, but how much we can improve what we already are, how much we can grow and learn. Start to look a little more inward before looking outside.
Just then, loving and recognizing our virtues, we can admire and recognize others, from the appreciation for differences.

Is it worth not being yourself? Absolutely not, because whatever we do, we show ourselves as we show ourselves, there will always be people who we don't will like. All the people that come to live this experience on earth have a mission, a purpose, that is why it is so important to be oneself, that we are authentic, because we have been commissioned to perform a task and that task can only be done if we are ourselves and not if we try to be someone we are not.
Instead of accepting that we are unique pieces we try to become the next piece and for that we adopt positions that make us be tense with the belief that if we hold the position for long enough we will end up fitting into a space that is not the ours, in a place that is not made for us.

When we accept ourselves and decide to be ourselves, we realize that there is an ideal place for each one of us.
The fact of starting to be oneself makes the Universe begin to support us and our life becomes a little easier, which makes all the sense in the world, because if each one of us comes to fulfill a specific mission we have been endowed with all the qualities and gifts that we need to carry it out, but for this we have to be ourselves.

I agree, Miss Mjzo. To happen this you speak, we need to have self-knowledge and security. Thanks for reading and commenting!!!

Juliano! Can I ask you a favor?
I hope you do not think I abuse your kindness or something like that.
Could you help me with a resteem to my latest publication? It's for a good cause:( I'd really appreciate it too much♥

Thank you @julisavio. You brought up some good points. Parents compare their kids to others and try to show that other kids are better and she/he has to be better than others.

Comparing yourself to others only makes you sad and disappointed. There is always someone who is faster than you, smarter than you, but no one will ever be the unique blend of you.

If you teach your kids to embrace their uniqueness, you will see they are building up their career on their own.

Exactly man, very nice words. Thank you for read and comment!!!!

It is true sometimes people believe that they must look like someone else so that their life is perfect or better, when in fact you only have to be yourself and give the best of you to leave a footprint on what you do as a person

i igree with you Genesis. thank you for read and comment!!!

I do believe that parents' words can really make a big impact in the child's way of being. Parent should stop making comparisons when they're trying to educate their children so that the children wont get a misconception that comparing yourself to others is okay.

When you stop comparing, you'll begin to see all the good things that you have.

I agree enjieneer the comparison always tends to leave some side slighted. I appreciate your words. Good night!!!!

Building a child self esteem start from the early stage of the child life, by making him or her realize is that he or she is unique and important in every aspect of his or her life.
