The Comparison Trap 🔍

You'd say you don't really compare yourself to people — and mostly that's true. Then one very specific kind of update crosses your feed, or one voice says one sentence at a family table, and something in your chest drops before you've decided to let it. Most comparison quizzes miss this: upward comparison has a shape, a specific target your nervous system has quietly decided is the real measuring stick. This Mirror asks which shape yours takes — because the woman measuring herself against a stranger's highlight reel needs completely different medicine than the one still hearing her sister's voice.
