I have noticed that I compare myself to others a lot. I realize it is mentally unhealthy. I realize it only pulls your self esteem and confidence down. But I find myself feeling sad and horrible over others having things that I don't have. Just a few days ago, I was feeling jealous over not being in a relationship (but at the same time, I enjoy being single. I know, sounds weird). I know a few people who are/been in relationships and it made me really sad. This is making me want to gain confidence. I want to stop feeling inadequate.

Sometimes I see how other people's social lives are and I start to wish I had that. I go to a community college and some of my friends are spread out so it is hard to maintain my social life (hard to explain).

Is there anything that I can do whenever I have a negative comparison moment? I realize that "comparison is the thief of joy" but I need an idea of where to start.

Any other things I could do?
Any thoughts?

I want to stop comparing myself to others in so I can have more confidence amnd self esteem.
