Comparing Yourself to Others

Seeing someone succeed where you feel you're falling short.

30-Second Summary

Comparison is the thief of joy - and with RSD, it's also a source of intense shame. Someone else's success feels like proof of your failure.

Key Insight

You're comparing your behind-the-scenes to their highlight reel. You see their success but not their struggles, failures, advantages, or luck.

Right Now

Their success doesn't diminish you. There's not a fixed amount of success in the world - their win doesn't take from your potential.
