RE: Wake up and stop comparing on Hive

There will always be someone smarter,richer, wiser, popular.

I think the internet is geared to finding and promoting these people who are at the extremes, and making the average feel inadequate. There is someone at every positive and negative extreme that can be leveraged as a control mechanism of the average person.

A sort of manipulation. It works. Since when being yourself is just average? Since being extremely photoshoped is the new normal. Women and men see all of these images of success and think that if they adhere they will be more accepted. All sorts of other "standards" of normality appear daily. We should embrace our uniqueness. Because each and every one of us is "averagely" unique.
