Hi, yes! Being a mentor to others in a different industry I’ve discovered self comparison to be a downer. But if anything it can be used to motivate oneself in therapy too... if I look at the traits and qualities of certain individuals I admire and strive to adopt them, I too can be like them.

I definitely don’t think I’ll ever be like anyone with a CS degree and it’s pointless comparing... plus I don’t have the youth those nerds lol
