Comparisonitis / com·par·isoni·tis/ (noun)The compulsion to compare one's accomplishments to another's to determine relative importance.We've all felt it - that sinking feeling when you start comparing yourself to someone else. Maybe it's a friend, maybe it's someone on social media, maybe it's just a random person on the street. Whatever the situation, you're suddenly convinced that the other person is better than you (or smarter, or more successful, or more WHATEVER) and you're left feeling gutted, deflated, and completely worthless.That feeling is called comparisonitis. And if you've suffered from it, you are NOT alone.Comparisonitis is a toxic condition that occurs when you compare yourself to others so frequently and fiercely that you're left paralysed, with your confidence in tatters and your self-worth plummeting.
