I compare myself with everyone way too much
This is a big problem that I have. I have a very active mind, so I am constantly thinking about many different things, this being a big thing. I wish that I didn't think about this though. I don't many remarkable traits. I do not have any major talents or skills. I do have a nice and quirky personality and an active imagination which I am happy about.
The problem is that I compare myself with everyone too much and this has negative effects. I always feel that I should be just as good as this person, or that person, or I feel inferior. I know that sounds stupid, but I have a weird mind. Example: Say I find a Brony song and it is really good. I will enjoy it and appreciate it, because I love music. The problem that will arise is that I start to get feelings of inferiority, because I will feel that I cannot do anything like it. I do make some music, electronic because I am not skilled with any actual instrument, but I have a great ear for music, so I should just be fine with that, but my nagging comparisons get the best of me and it brings me down a lot. The music that I make does sound good and that should be enough. Again, I know it sounds stupid, but it is something that I go through.
Another good example is this. I have noticed that a lot of bronies attend college. I do not, mainly because I have no interest. That should be perfectly fine, but my comparisons kick in. I see people, like on the forums, and see that they talk about college and I feel inferior. I start feeling like I am not doing anything great with my life, which shouldn't bother me because I normally am fine with my simple life.
I live a simple life, enjoying simple things and loving this fandom and show. Another one is that I cannot drive. I constantly compare myself with other people because they can drive and I cannot (due to horrid anxiety problems and aspergers syndrome) and that again makes me feel I inferior. Luckily I am slowly but surely accepting this particular thing.
This is a reason why I do not go to certain websites or I try to avoid certain things and places, because I want to avoid these thoughts. I am also very anti-social so that doesn't help (Aspergers Syndrome ahoy) and I usually have a difficult time expressing these strange feelings. I really wish I didn't have these feelings because it can greatly impact my ability to enjoy certain things. Again, I know this seems strange but I am a strange person, which personally I like about myself. I just need to stop comparing myself with other people be happy for who I am, flaws and all. This is a weird first blog, but I wanted to share my thoughts. I like sharing my thoughts on things I think about a lot or am passionate about, hence why I post a lot about the Twilicorn subject.
Either way, I am getting off-topic. Thanks for reading. It feels nice to just express my thoughts, I don't have many people that I can express my feelings to.
