I constantly compare myself to other women. If you’re a women who I think is pretty, then I am comparing myself to you. If you are a mother, I am comparing myself to you. It. Is. Constant. On social media and in person, it doesn’t matter.
It’s truly awful and pathetic, but I will look for flaws in other women. Like “oh her teeth are a little crooked.” Or “oh, she has a double chin when she looks down, too!” Or “her nail polish is chipped, so it’s ok that mine is.” And on and on and on.
Also, I compare my mothering “skills” for lack of a better word. Oh someone on Facebook always takes their kid to the zoo and I haven’t taken my kid anywhere fun in a few days, I am a SHIT mom. Oh, Sally took her kid to a mommy-and-me art class, and my kid is watching Spongebob. I am a SHIT mom.
It is constant. It is never ending. I just want it to stop. How can I make it stop? Deleting social media wouldn’t help, because I still compare myself when I’m out in public or at church, even.
