1 year agoPick any facet of life at all… there will always be many people “ahead” and many people “behind” where you are. I’m not sure where you live, but at least in the US there is (IMHO) an unhealthy focus on social status competition within peer groups. Fuck that. Ask yourself if YOU personally are “ahead” or “behind” where you were yesterday, last year, etc. But even then please don’t beat yourself up… be patient and have compassion for yourself.
@MrMusAddict I get that. Aside from replies, boosts and upvotes are the only other way to tell someone walked by and thought “hey I like or dislike that”.
