I actually think (and this is by no means a slight on you) people now are alot less comparative. Weve had it drummed into us for so long not to compare to others (especially instagram, curated lifestyles) that most people are just happy being the best version of themselves instead of a shitty version of someone else.Everyone seems so confident these days, and socially too, it’s good obviously for them, but you go out and not only that, most people seem so body confident and physiologically stable these days as well, it’s almost like the year 2016 came along and people became better looking and more interesting or something like that. It’s like the nerdy guys turned into Chads and women turned even more super stylish and athletic. I don’t recall noticing this so much 15-20-25 years ago. But back then we didn’t have smart phones, social media, big population and other aspects too.
Meanwhile I just feel like a nerdy, generic, boring dude who hangs off his overly pretentious tastes in music, spends too much time gaming and revels in self loathing and solitude or something I can’t really even describe all that well. Anyway.
Does anything make any sense? I’m not so sure.
On one hand it’s good on the other hand it’s also overwhelming, intimidating and hard to not be envious I guess.
People who effortlessly cool and have great lives, man they’re lucky.
On the bolded there are very very very few people actually like that, it may look like its effortless but its almost certainly not. Good lives much like relationships are work, they just dont appear to be so from the outside. Focus on you and your happiness first, the rest will come.
