How do you shut out others who do compare, criticize, and judge others? I agree and want to remove myself from this stuff that takes away my peace. How do you listen less as an HSP? I hear a lot. In the working world, we are compared. Some have thought that I was good and then a friend comes along and I am less. It has happened a lot. You can use things from other people to motivate yourself or get another goal. There is not a need to compare. True, copy versus original. I do not like it when others copy me. I don’t know what I am doing. Just kidding a little. It seems like a mind game we need to stay on and be aware.
Hi Michelle, Yes, I believe we have to take personal self-responsibility and always be mindful and aware. If we choose not to do this then the 'Human Centred Mind ' takes control and starts playing the mind games you mentioned, Thank you for taking the time and trouble for watching and commenting on our videos we appreciate your support.

Your videos help me so much. This video is perfect for me and I believe if I watch it many times over along with meditation then I can break my comparison habit robbing me of happiness. I need to accept myself without comparison. I unfortunately have been in the trap and endless cycle of comparing myself to others to assess where I am at in life. I just want to stop striving and just be happy and content. As an example, I just recently took a new job that seems all great but I continually kept analyzing if I could have negotiated a higher salary, etc...maybe I didn't try hard enough. I drove myself into being anxious and depressed. I need to just stop it. I think another good topic for a video would be "being happy while gracefully aging", since we all will go through the aging process. This kind of has a lot to do with comparing where we are in life while we age.
Hi Matt P, Thanks for your suggestion for a future video, I think it’s a good idea and will put it on the list. Remember the 'flip' question: instead of getting 'worked up' and stressed, ask your Inner Child why it chooses to compare you with others. Then you will able to do the Golden Thread Process to find the root or core belief. I bet it's one of the 'three lies' :-) Why don't you consider joining our FREE Wu Wei Wisdom Community Facebook support group - we answer questions and offer guidance and teachings to our members here: facebook.com/groups/wuweiwisdomcommunity/.

Alex & David... new to your channel and simply loving it. This lesson by far speaks the loudest to me right at this time Is the solution here simply saying “stop it” as soon as the red alert appears?

My friends that comparing is ok becaue it is trying to sympathize with others by comparing certain situations against each other so others wont feel alone and know that they are not the first. Whether you are trying to make some one else feel better, doesnt it just make you feel bad in the end...doeent it take away that way of making people equal when you compare.....give me some thing to say to my froends that say it is ok when they are making others feel not alone...i feel lile it also takes away others power of their situation by comparing yourself with others....it can minimize their situation right? What are both og your thoughts on this?
Hi Fiona Thanks for watching and commenting on our video, we're glad you found it helpful! Did you know that there is a volume control on all RUclips videos so you can adjust this to suit you?
I used to weekly read true-life magazines take a break, pick me up etc until someone asked me why I kept reading "bad news mags" I had never considered that they do have a lot of negative stories and so I stopped buying them as I didn't have an answer to why I was reading them. Then a few years later I started reading them when I felt down or disappointed with life and what was going on around me with the thinking I could use them as a means to gain perspective that perhaps things weren't so bad for me. What do you think about this?
Hi lastscrapofhope, Thank you very much for your comments. I would suggest you do a little more emotional and self-development work. Remember, that you are the creator of your emotions not the victim of them so you can also take back control of all of your emotions and this can be very empowering - this video will explain a little more: ruclips.net/video/WjJgsS36CxA/видео.html So when you have created a feeling of disappointment or being down with life I would suggest you meditate on the Golden Thread Process question of 'why' you have created those feelings.

Wu Wei Wisdom thank you I'm currently trying hard to do exactly that, it really helped hearing we create our own feelings. Your videos are amazing thanks to you both💗
Comparing this person to that person is illogical. Different tree bears different fruits. It's not logical to want an apple tree to bear orange fruit. Human are supposed to have an ability to reason but our behaviors show otherwise. Sad!

Comparison is the thief of joy
Absolutely! #keeponstoppingit !!
This is a brilliant quote... love it!
When people don't know who they are they sometimes look to emulate someone else. :-( Sadly no one knows who they are, its a choice we make daily.
