It makes me feel very bad and insecure about myself, but I can't stop it. It's constantly in my head. Like I have to compare all the time. It's like I'm always looking for someone who is not better than me, but it's difficult to find.
I'm looking for ways to stop this behaviour. I already know that you should not compare yourself to others, especially at my age because everyone lives their lifes differently. But it's like I want my life to be perfect and through other people I always realize my life has many flaws.
It's become an obession. How can I stop this? Any advise? Does this make me a bad person?

Sorry you are going through this. No, it doesn't make you a bad person. I think all of us have a tendency to compare ourselves to others but when it becomes to an obsession, it may be good to reach out to a therapist. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy without realizing God make us all different for a reason. There is only one you and no one else can be you but you. Well wishes, take care!
