The Comparison Trap: Why We Measure Ourselves Against Everyone Else

It’s almost automatic — you scroll, listen, or walk into a room and start sizing yourself up against the people around you. We compare how we look, how we parent, how we work, how we live — and often, we walk away feeling “less than.”In this episode of What’s On Your Mind, Mark and Will talk about why comparison is so tempting, how it hijacks self-trust and gratitude, and what it takes to find peace in your own lane. They explore the psychology behind comparison, the role of social media, and practical ways to shift from envy to inspiration.
