那么，我确实落后了吗?其他人一直都在取得成绩吗?这些人发布的任何状态更新都是为了刺激我?当然不是。但是如果我不是很细心的话，那么很容易觉得我的社交媒体流一直在提醒我没有做的事情和没有实现的梦想。

This isn’t a social media problem. It’s a comparison problem. There isn’t a single thing about Twitter – or any of the other social media platforms I use – that’s designed to make me ask how I’m measuring up. That’s all me – an automatic, internal mechanism. It’s part ego (“But what does this say about me?), part creative drive (“What more am I capable of?), and part deep soul yearning (“How can I make an impact, leave a legacy, and matter?).

And I know it’s not just me. I’ve spent the past year collaborating with leadership coach Tanya Geisler on researching how comparison works, what it costs us, and what it can teach us – and we’ve discovered that it runs rampant among just about every creative, growth-oriented person we know. In our comparison-soaked culture, it’s hard to avoid looking around at what other people are doing with their short time on earth, and slipping (often unconsciously) into “How am I stacking up? mode.
