Is comparison stealing our joy?

This habit can erode confidence and well-being. Understanding its root cause can help us build self-worth.

Do you ever look at the people around you and feel like you’re falling behind? You’re giving your best, but all you seem to notice is others’ growth. And when you reflect on your own progress, doubts creep in, wondering if you could be doing better, just like everyone else. If you’ve found yourself in this position, you’re falling into what’s known as the comparison trap.
