Making comparisons to other people is human nature, and it's a part of human nature that I frankly think is out of control because of the current "system" as it were. Our society breeds this kind of thinking, you're not worthy unless you can measure up to what the system defines as "success".
Why does the comparing thing frighten you?

I think it frightens me because if I'm constantly comparing, that leads to the "better than" thoughts at times. I am worried I can't tolerate being friends with someone unless I am "better than" them in at least some way so I don't feel insecure and jealous. I realize that people are more than my judgements, and I just wish I wouldn't do it.
