It pisses me off when I do see uneven comparisons; people don't even realise what they are talking about, whether it's logical or not. Even in those moments, you can't even explain to that person the logic and actual stuff; they will be like a brainless weirdo who doesn't see the truth or actual stuff, even if you spoonfeed it to them.
So how did things get started, right? One of my family members will always start to compare things we have achieved or not with someone else. The person I'm getting compared to is almost 35+ years old, and here I'm on my 25th. Now, my career has just started, maybe I've passed five years maxed to earn and spend all my expenses responsibly or so. But what about him, for him, this is 15 years+ and that too in upper leagues. So now, is it logical to compare my worth with his? Is it logical to argue that he can do this, this, and this, and why can't you do them as well?
In my opinion, even if that person were of my age, we shouldn't compare ourselves to one another. Not everything works the same for everyone; things take time, and work differently for different people and different circumstances. We should be the comparator to our own versions that we left behind. We must check if we have done anything better or not in the time frame that we have passed, and continue the development or address the problems. That's what should be the actual flow, but we are taking things the other way.
I have faith in myself, even though the current state is good enough from my point of view. But things start to fall short if your eyes are always on bigger stuff than yours. You gotta open your eyes to realise your surroundings and take things logically, not emotionally, always. If you can't take things as they should be, then you're gonna have immense backlashes for sure.
To be honest, from anger, I got emotionally imbalanced in the next moment. Because all the hardships and stress I'm going through don't matter because to them, the expectation bar is too high to touch from my side. They have placed it so hard without any logical reason, and won't even listen to others.
So yeah, nothing to do when the person in front of you lacks the ability to grab something logical instead of their fairytales that don't make sense. All I'm doing is having patience and praying that things will get better from my end in the coming days, and they, too, get back to reality.
