Hello Michael.


First of all we must understand why you are feeling less than they are.


Is it that you are not overvaluing their achievements and not looking at yours?


Is this behavior something that accompanies you throughout your life and now you are empowering with the passage of your friends to other schools, which you call better?


It may not be that much, but your eyes see them like this !


Look. Each person has a talent. Each person has in himself facilities or difficulties for subjects and concepts.

You may be comparing yourself to what is not at your ease.


Have you stopped to think that your friends might also think that you are great on a certain subject that they are not?


This is life.


We are not good at everything but we are good at many things.


It's clear that you need to be more confident in yourself.


Learn to accept that your friends are good at other things that for you are not your best performance, which does not mean that you are less or less!


You have your talents. Trust in them! Find Out Your Best! And it goes behind it with courage, determination and faith.


Each one is one in this world.


Learn to value yourself and take advantage of what you know best!

Ada’s Answer

Hi Michael,


It's very normal to feel the way you do. People instinctively compare themselves to others. However, you have to learn to quiet your inner critic and understand that everyone has different talents. I suggest rather than comparing yourself to others, compare now-yourself to your old self in order to track your own personal progress. Focusing on creating personal goals and trying your best to meet will help you gain a sense of accomplishment.
