Reading “Atlas of the Heart” by Dr. Brene’ Brown
Stop ? ?? Comparing! Chart your own unique path!
Findings of noted studies/research suggests “Comparing self with others, intentional or unintentional, is a prevasive social phenomenon.”
How we perceive ourselves (our ranking/standings) in comparison to others and “societal standards” affects humans self-concept, sense of self worth, level of aspiration, and feelings of well -being.
My thoughts: Absolutely. I agree & had an inkling this was the case. I had a brief convo with a client recently, who said you have to be married, with child at XX years old? Who created these “norms?” Don’t fall prey to conformity. Be you….your own unique, wonderful, self ????
