Do You Compare Yourself or Your Relationship to Others? 5 Surprising Ways to Stop Letting Comparison Steal Your Happiness
Do you compare your relationship to others?
How can you identify and manage your triggers for comparison?
Today, Jay introduces the concept of social comparison theory, explaining the differences between upward - where we compare ourselves to those we perceive as better off, can lead to feelings of inadequacy if done with envy rather than a mindset of learning, and downward comparisons which involves comparing ourselves to those worse off, which can provide a temporary boost in self-esteem but is ultimately unproductive and unkind.
He shares practical strategies for reducing comparison, such as being mindful of social media usage, identifying personal triggers, and investing in self-improvement. Jay also stresses the importance of understanding the deeper, often hidden aspects of people's lives and why we usually compare our internal struggles with others' external successes, leading to a distorted and unfair self-assessment.
In the episode, you'll learn:
How to identify your goals
How to set mutual goals
How to be mindful of your triggers
How to invest in self-improvement
By seeking deeper connections and understanding the full context of others' lives, we can develop more empathy and reduce the impulse to compare and shift our focus from external comparisons to internal growth and relational strength, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and authentic life.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

He begins by acknowledging the pervasive uncertainty many people face about their partners and the fear of being alone that often drives them to stay in unfulfilling relationships.

In this episode, you'll learn:
How to foster emotional availability
How to deal with unrealistic expectations

Customer Reviews
From the start till now!
Jay I have been listening to your podcasts since first year when you started and I can totally see the positive changes in my life and career.
We are thankful for it.
Quantity instead of quality
This used to be my favorite podcast by far, but over the years it really lost it’s value - the focus was initially on outstanding, rich insights and delivering quality but it got lost with its vast quantity of mainstream guests, probably with the intend to reach more listeners. Jay is a phenomenal interviewer and warm caring person, and its a pity to see this podcast loosing its grandeur
Amazing
Love your podcasts! The ep. from Nov 3 about 8 steps in a relationship was truly so helpful, as all the rest of the channel. Keep up the great work Jay!
