We’ve always compared ourselves to other people. That’s normal. Comparison helped humans learn, adapt, improve, and survive.

But modern life has scaled comparison beyond anything we were built for.

In this episode of NUGGETS, Pellegrino Riccardi and Francois Sibbald explore why comparison feels so exhausting today — from social media and status anxiety to money, relationships, parenting, self-worth, and identity.

They discuss:

• Why humans are wired to compare
• Dunbar’s Number and social overload
• Why social media amplifies inadequacy
• Healthy vs destructive comparison
• Why awareness reduces psychological pressure
• How to build your own “scoreboard”

“The more you use others for comparison, the less you see yourself.”

• 20-minute episodes.
• 3 practical takeaways.
• Things you can actually use in your everyday life.
