I can't stop comparing myself to others and it's destroying me. Here's my pattern: [describe who you compare to, what platforms trigger it, specific comparisons that hurt most, and how it affects your mood/motivation]. Map my comparison addiction: who do I compare to (peers, strangers, younger/older, specific people?), what do I compare (success, appearance, relationships, lifestyle, happiness?), when does it hit hardest (scrolling, at events, during certain moods?), and what's the internal monologue during comparison ("they have it all, I'm behind, I'll never catch up, why not me?"). Identify my comparison type: upward (people ahead of me - breeds inadequacy), lateral (people at my level - breeds competition), or downward (people behind me - breeds anxiety about losing ground). Then decode the function: what am I using comparison for? (motivation, self-punishment, excuse not to try, identity formation, or reality check?). Analyze the damage: how comparison affects my actions (do I try harder or give up?), relationships (do I resent successful people?), risk-taking (do I play small to avoid unfavorable comparison?), and self-concept (do I know who I am outside of ranking?). Create the elimination system: not "stop comparing" but "make comparison useless" - the perspective shifts that render comparison meaningless, the data analysis showing comparison is comparing incomparable things (their highlight to your behind-scenes, their year 10 to your year 1, their gifts to your different gifts), the social media detox protocol specific to MY triggers, the identity work (who am I when I'm not measuring against others?), the unique path definition (what's MY version of success not the one I'm chasing?), and the comparison interrupt practice (when it hits, what do I do instead?). Include: the person I compare to most and what they represent that I think I lack, the achievement that would finally make me feel "enough" (spoiler: it won't), and what I'd do with my energy if I wasn't spending it on comparison.
