Hi @uncaged sounds like you’ve been deep in thought about this, and I wanted to thank you for sharing how you feel. It's completely normal to have moments of comparing ourselves, especially in today's social media-driven world where it's easy to see what others are doing. Like @Lemon_Dolphin pointed out, it's important to recognise that everyone's journey is unique, and that success takes different forms for everyone.
Your competitive nature seems to be a significant part of your life, and that's okay; in fact, you can embrace it as a strength. Although, it's important to find a balance that doesn't lead to self-doubt or comparison. Have you considered shifting your focus on your own passions and goals? What are the things that genuinely make you happy and fulfilled?
When it comes to social media, keep in mind that people typically share the highlights of their lives. What you see may not reflect the whole reality. It's okay to appreciate the achievements of others, but try not to let it diminish your own sense of worth or potential.
If you're comfortable to share, I am really curious to hear more about your own ambitions and goals! Your journey is still unfolding, and there are countless opportunities for you to create a meaningful and successful life on your own terms😊
