Gay Men Going Deeper

Compare and Despair


Listen Later

Today we’re tackling the universal struggle of comparing ourselves to others. Whether it’s about body image, social status, or relationships, comparison can have a negative impact on our mental health, leading to a cycle of insecurity and self-doubt.

In this episode, we’re looking at how to break the cycle and actually re-frame it for your personal development. Join us as we dive into how to compare consciously and mindfully, transforming it into a tool that actually serves you instead of tearing you down. Some of the topics covered today are:

  • Knowing who we compare ourselves to and why
  • Instagram, TikTok, and social media - and its impact on your self-esteem
  • Self-worth and self-confidence 
  • Mindfulness and deliberate thought work 
  • Stories we tell ourselves about other people’s success 
  • How to break the cycle of compare and despair 
  • Tearing others down as an attempt to find comfort 
  • Join us for an informative episode where we’ll break down practical strategies for breaking free from the compare-and-despair cycle so you can find more peace and self-assuredness.
