Comparison is the Thief of Joy

Published: May 24, 2021, 9 a.m.

Not long ago I wrote an article, “What Other People Think About Me.” During my research and based on the past 51 years of “observing life,” I came to the conclusion that most folks DO think about us but only as a comparison to themselves rather than to just simply think about us. They are thinking about us and doing one of two things (if not both):

  1. They think about us wondering what we think about them in order for them to know how to judge themselves.
  2. They think about us and try to “size us up” in order to continue to develop their baseline comparison as to how they “measure up” in their social groups.

The funny thing is: most of what other people see in us is a defensive façade ...a version of our personality...as we socialize with our different peer groups. They are actually thinking about us to compare themselves with but the “us” we are portraying is not the real “us” that they may see in private. What? You don’t do this? Ever heard the phrase, “familiarity breeds content?” The more familiar we are with another human being the more we let our defensive façade “mask” down and show our true colors. That’s when the “friend” either runs away because they don’t like the person they now know or they stick around because the “real you” is better than the fake you. Still not you? Okay...not you...but folks I know.
