I didn't know what title to put this under but I have a hunch that it's the type of advice that might help you get better mentally if you're feeling down about yourself so I decided to title it "Get Better" because my mind is also on writers block.
Enjoy! :)
It's got to stop because it is destroying you. You may think it isn't bothering you but you'll always find yourself thinking you are useless when comparing yourself to others.
You'll always feel down, annoyed, hurt, disappointed and it depends on how you look at things, you may even scoff thinking you are better and who knows what other emotion, simply because you are comparing yourself to another person.
It will make you an even bitter person within your own eyes and even the eyes of people. So don't be surprised when people start giving you less of the attention because you brought it upon yourself. Not to be harsh in that last sentence...//sorry//
So here, to try and get rid of all that, you have to tell yourself that comparing yourself with another person isn't a good way to know your self worth. Yes, some people may be better at other things but are they you? No.
You are different and you have your own talents, uniqueness and a different level of creativity. It will take time for you to shine but you must always tell yourself these positive things. Give yourself a hug and love yourself.
You cannot say you love someone if you don't love yourself.
Tell yourself you are worth loads more than how people describe you to be.
You must also learn to forgive yourself and forgive others, whatever hatred you have towards yourself and others must be thrown away. Convince that to yourself everyday and you'll start feeling lighter. When hatred is gone, so is the heavy feeling in yourself.
When you start to love yourself, you will start to genuinely love everyone and everything around you because hatred is no longer there.
When a bad day suddenly appears, try not to worry because you must always tell yourself that you will make the most out of today and be at your best, the best you can be even for a day. Never forget to smile to the people around you even if they may look as bitter as a bittergourd. You could be the reason for their smile. Make jokes but mind your words and mind your manners. Walk happily and energetically. Don't slouch and moan at the thought of your next class, be happy about things. It will rub off on other people.
When someone hurts you, don't feel the need to backfire and hurt them back, tell yourself that this is only some small pathetic thing that It could be easily swept away. Ignore it. If you have a joke to say, say it and then laugh at it. Don't let people ruin your day or other people's and don't let yourself ruin it either because the only thing that is preventing you to be happy, is YOU.
And one last out of topic thing is.....
If you put yourself out there, knowing that the consequences of being criticised is high, you have to deal with it because you can't expect everyone to like how you are or we for that matter. You have to be strong and realise it.
I don't intend to be cruel but I couldn't really get the message across in such a polite way so this was the best I could do.
Thank you.. <3
