In my coaching practice I rarely meet a client whose parents didn’t compare themselves with other kids.
Being compared, either favorably or negatively, takes away our inherent self-worth and fuses it with something outside of us. Creating the damaging narrative: “I’m only worthy when...”
But that’s not all.
We internalize comparison. Even when our parents are no longer around to do it for us, we can’t stop comparing ourselves to others. And we beat ourselves black and blue when we don’t seem to measure up.
