Yes, you will be miserable if you constantly compare yourself to others. There will always be someone smarter or more attractive or more this or more that. Always. Just as there will always be someone less smart or whatever. Listen to Self Esteem Supercharger, because self esteem has a lot to do with how you value yourself. If you continue to compare yourself to others, you'll be unhappy.

In the same way, if you compare yourself to the person you used to be, you'll be unhappy. Lots of people say, "If I would have known then what I know now..." There's no way you could have known then, because you were younger, you were in a different place, with different experiences and knowledge.

Stop comparing yourself to this other person and value yourself.
