If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably thought something along the lines of “I wish I was somebody else” when you’ve been feeling particularly overwhelmed by your own self-doubt, anxiety, or insecurity. It’s human nature to compare oneself to others and conclude that they’re superior. – while the reality is that most folks are far more terrified than we are.

You are at a party when you notice a stunning woman sitting alone and enjoying a drink of Asti Spumanti. As you look at her, you can’t help but think, “She exudes the utmost serenity and assurance.” But if you could see inside her opaque head, you’d see a whirlwind of ideas, and you might be surprised to learn that she’s wondering things like, “are people talking about why I am seated here alone?… Why don’t boys find me attractive?… My ankles are too small for my taste… I aspire to have the same level of intelligence as my best friend.
Â
We marvel at a youthful business owner and exclaim, “Wooh… After all that, what more could he possibly want? He looks in the mirror and says, “I detest my large eyes,” to himself. Why won’t anyone talk to me? I really want my parents could make up.
Â
That’s hilarious, right? We admire others and wish we could swap places with them because they are so ridiculously flawless, and they do the same to us. When other individuals have insecurities about themselves, it makes us feel insecure. Because of the quiet despair that surrounds us, we experience low self-esteem, a lack of confidence, and a loss of hope in our ability to better ourselves.
You may be the last person to realize that you have an annoying habit, such as biting your fingernails or having a filthy tongue, but it happens to the best of us.
Â
The conversation with my pal never ends. And she is usually the only one in the conversation whose thoughts and opinions are taken seriously. As a result, our mutual acquaintances shun her company whenever possible, and she seems oblivious to the fact that she has become a social outcast.
Â
Improving oneself often involves talking to and listening to a reliable friend. Try to locate someone you feel safe enough to talk to about everything from the most delicate issues to the most traumatic experiences of your life. Pose queries like, “Do I ever tire you while we’re together?” or “Do you think I am ill-mannered?” or “Do I always sound so argumentative?” or “Do I talk too loud?” or “Does my breath smell?” By doing so, it will be clear to the other person that you value personal development. Don’t tell her things like, “Don’t exaggerate!” when she has anything to say, but rather lend your ears. I’m just like that! Don’t close off your thoughts and feelings. In response, you may offer your pal some helpful suggestions for self-improvement in the form of criticism.

Whitney Houston once sang, “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.” That’s right. Self-love is a prerequisite for loving others. Keep in mind that you can’t give something if you don’t have it to give.
Â
Let other people understand that you are a representation and a product of self-improvement before giving them advice on how to do so. By working to better ourselves, we may motivate others to do the same, and ultimately, the entire world can benefit.
Â
Put an end to your inferiority complex. Just stop saying to yourself, “If only I were richer… if only I were smaller,” etc. The realization of one’s true nature is the starting point for personal development. We must quit making meaningless comparisons between ourselves and others, only to come away with 10 more reasons to be jealous of them.
Â
All of us struggle with self-doubt at times. No one is faultless. We constantly crave for more desirable qualities, attributes, organs, etc. But even if things aren’t ideal, a person can still feel good about who they are. Improving yourself and loving yourself are not achieved by proclaiming to the world that you are flawless and unrivaled. Contentment and acceptance are virtues. When we take steps to better ourselves, we can finally feel satisfied and joyful.
