Questions people ask

Why do I compare myself to other people?

Because upward comparison has a specific target, not a general one. Most of the time you barely compare at all — then one particular kind of update or one sentence at a family table drops something in your chest before you have decided to let it.

How long does this quiz take?

Six questions, about two minutes. Free, no account, immediate result.

What are the four patterns?

The Highlight Reel Chaser, the Golden Sibling Echo, the Should-Be-There-By-Now Voice, and the Silent Competitor. Each has a different measuring stick — strangers online, one particular person you grew up with, an internal timetable, or someone you would never admit you are racing.

Is comparison always bad?

No. It is how people calibrate, and sometimes it usefully names a want you had not admitted to. The trouble is narrower: one specific measuring stick your system has quietly decided is the real one, usually chosen years ago and never reviewed.

Would deleting social media fix it?

For one of these four, it would help considerably. For the others the target is a sibling, an internal timetable, or one particular person — none of which live on your feed, and all of which are waiting when you come back.
