That's my problem too. What I am trying to do now is just focusing on myself and my own problems. Before I used to think about my college buddies who graduated with grades worse than mine and got good jobs whereas me with my 3.8 gpa Im still struggling. Or other people I would be jealous of.

Whenever I have thoughts about anyone I cut those thoughts out and instead shift the attention to myself. I mean ANYONE, so I don't allow any thoughts about anyone. My mind is trained to compare and judge automatically whenever someone comes to my mind, so by not allowing anyone into my mind I don't give my mind a chance to judge or compare. I've been doing it for several days now and I feel a lot better since I'm not comparing myself to others. It was sucking so much energy out of me. Now I spend all this energy on myself. I started working out, doing yoga, and things to help me find a better job. Things are still up and down, but as Confucius said "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop"
