Don’t compare yourself with others:
When we compare our characteristics with someone better than us, we feel low confidence. The feelings that others are better than us create feelings of envy in ourselves. A study published in Personality and Individual differences found a direct link between envy and the way you feel about yourself.
The researcher found that the people who compare themselves to others experience envy and the more envy they experience, the less bad they experience about themselves.

If you compare yourself then you are insulting yourself”

The company you have highly influence how you think about yourself. People are recognized by their company. If you have good company, you will probably feel good about yourself. How do your friends make you feel? Do your friends lift you up and bring you down? Are they criticize or judge you or do they accept you how you are? The people you spend time with influence your attitude and thought about yourself. If your friends criticize or judge you then it is time to say goodbye to these friends. Surround yourself with people who love you and want the best for you.
