On the Bright Side

EP 74: The Comparison Trap of Your 20's


Listen Later

In your 20s, you will be faced with the comparison trap, where you think you’re behind, success-shame yourself, and feel like everyone else is living these perfectly put together lives. It’s important not to believe that.


On this episode of OTBS, we’re talking about the comparison trap of your 20s… the one where you scroll for five minutes and suddenly feel behind in life, under accomplished, and convinced that everyone else’s life is going great…because it’s easy to assume that.


 Someone posts a single photo, an engagement announcement, a job update, or a perfectly curated highlight reel, and we automatically think everything is easy and going right for them. When in reality, that snapshot is about 0.00001157% of their actual day (yeah… your girl can math).


Your 20s are meant for finding yourself, and honestly, throwing societal standards out the window. Because if you looked at my life from a “traditional” standpoint, I’d probably be considered failing. I don’t have a 9-5, I don’t have a boyfriend, and I don’t have a million dollars in savings, yet I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.

So let’s chat. Because happiness looks different for everyone, which means success does too.
