3. the comparison trap
from The 20s Lens · host amelia
In this episode, things get a little more serious. I unpack the quiet exhaustion that comes from constantly measuring myself against others- their careers, looks, skills, and timelines. Since comparison is something I struggle with (some days more than others), I wanted to verbalize my thoughts and store them in this creative outlet aka episode 3.I talk about where comparison even comes from and reflect on my own experiences with it - from social media and daily life to growing up as a dancer. While I don’t have the perfect answer for how to deal with comparison, I hope you can relate to some of the things I share here.
