You're right, I don't know what I was thinking.
I salute OP for their work

Comparing yourself to others is a great way to feel miserable.
Yeah, but I'll probably do it at least two more times before the day is over.
:(
I'm always tearing myself down.
Then we're one and the same lol
who are you and how have you so perfectly summarized me
Transporter accident.
How's your liver holding up?
I don't have one anymore cuz SOMEONE stole it
Everyone else compares me to everyone else. To not do so would be naïve.
My hobby is starting new hobbies not getting good at them 😔
Yeah, when I start something, and midway realize it is hard to make, by then I'll find new thing to start
Yeah there's like an awkward spot I get to where I'm relatively competent but then I realize the next step is actually difficult. Then I'll struggle a bit until I get bored and move on. Every damn time. It happens in video games too. I crap out towards the end of games more often than I finish them. It's like something switches off in my brain the second I feel like I know what I'm doing and it immediately becomes too boring 🙄
Same bro, relatable af. I can't finish anything because of this...
Just wait until you have a dentist that's younger than you. I'm only in my mid 30s but got one fresh out of dentistry school. That's the moment you officially feel like a useless fossil.
I know this isn't in the spirit of things, but, If you go through life comparing yourself to others, there's always going to be someone more practised at something who possibly had more privileges and therefore came out ahead of you.
But really we shouldn't be measuring ourselves in how much $ we produce, that's a made up thing, anyway and we are worth more than how many $ we can make someone else. And we're pretty much all stuck in that oppressive system. And part of being stuck in that oppressive system is brain washing you into believing your value is tied up in how much you generate. But even on a basic level we actually know that's not true. You don't treat disabled people like they're worthless, but their earning capacity in a society built around able bodied people, isn't equal.
You are a deep, rich, and complex, electrically animated meat puppet, and you have vast worth, you have just been trained not to see it.
Think of all the folks younger than you that are healthier than you, better looking than you, wealthier, and more accomplished than you.
At some point it just doesn’t matter and thinking about it doesn’t benefit you in any conceivable way.
All you can do is focus on yourself and leverage your strong points. That’s all you can do and it’s all that matters.
How about rich and talented?
...and in a loving and committed relationship with a compatible mate.
Without putting much effort from their side
The older you get the more this will hurt.
And we start seeing much younger people doing everything we tried and failed... Oh, how it hurts.
And mom next to you said "why can't you be like him/her?" /j
Is it just me or does that creamer(?) seem a little to thick?
I think it's foamy milk for a latte
Talented people piss me off
In my age people who still work hard are worse. Busting their asses beyond call of duty to make other people money, in a project nobody remembers afterwards, or even gives anyone any credit.
Makes me tired just looking at it.
...is this coffee?
Not in my book, and I don't even write books.
I recently found out an old buddy is a famous YouTuber with 5 million followers.
My kids were watching him, and I said "that's weird, we used to hang out in high school!" Their minds were blown. He's gotta be rolling in the big bucks.
That would be so surreal.
