Do You F*cking Mind?

470. How to End Comparison and Competition for Good - Psychology tools that work


Listen Later

Why do you keep comparing yourself to everyone else, even people you love?

Why does competition creep into friendships, relationships, work, and social media… even when you know it’s making you feel worse?

In this episode, I break down the psychology of comparison and competition. Why your brain gets stuck in it, why some situations trigger you more than others, and how to end the comparison cycle permanently, not just “manage” it.

We talk about:

  • Why comparison isn’t the problem, loss of self-trust is

  • How triggers reveal where you’ve outsourced your worth

  • The difference between healthy ambition and toxic competition

  • Why comparing yourself to friends and siblings hurts the most

  • How social media intensifies insecurity without you realising

  • The psychology behind competing for validation, attention, and approval

    • How to stop competing in friendships, dating, and everyday life

    • The mindset shift that makes comparison lose its power for good

      This episode is for anyone who feels behind, constantly measures themselves against others, or is exhausted by the quiet mental competition they can’t seem to turn off.

      If comparison is draining your confidence, affecting your relationships, or keeping you stuck, this episode will help you understand why it happens and exactly how to step out of it for good.
