How do you perceive yourself?

Do you measure and view yourself in comparison to others?

This is an important topic because self-perception dramatically impacts your life.

Without a solid self-identity, it’s hard to have healthy relationships.

It’s also very hard to develop a sense of worth if you have no sense of self.

And if comparison effects your self-perception comparison must be treated carefully.

Is your self-perception affected by comparing yourself to the success of others?

Having a stable sense of self will help fend from costly comparison.

Which brings the real question, what does it look like to have a stable sense of self?

1. Establish a firm sense of self-esteem. Esteem is connected to believing that you deserve respect and love. In regards to comparison, this means that even if someone is performing better than you academically, aesthetically or elsewhere you must hold to know your worth.
2. Stability comes from being able to identify and hold to who you are absent of feedback. Your values and preferences shouldn’t change when comparing them to someone else’s views. Embracing and being proud of the person you are when you aren’t being publicly posted?”
