How do you deal with people being more successful than you?
Here are six ways to stop resenting other people’s success:
- Stop Comparing Yourself to Other People.
- Don’t Put-Down Other People’s Accomplishments.
- Develop an Awareness of Your Stereotypes.
- Stop Emphasizing Your Weaknesses.
- Quit Trying to Determine What’s Fair.
- Create Your Own Definition of Success.
Why does someone elses success bother me?
It’s simply an emotional reaction! Our brains are programmed into the pattern of comparing ourselves to others, and it’s a hard cycle to break. You see someone around you accomplishing big things, and you automatically check in with how you measure up.
Why don’t people support what I am doing?
Sometimes others are insecure. Sometimes when people don’t support what you’re doing, it may be more about them than you. It could be plain ignorance or even jealousy, but some people tend to attack things that are new to them. So again, don’t take their words to heart.
How can I support my success?
Supportive friends, family, professors and colleagues will celebrate your successes and help you learn from your failures, providing the encouragement that you need to meet each challenge with determination and a positive attitude.
Why do people who don’t support me and discourage me?
Others may not fully understand. People who don’t support you and discourage you may not actually be bad people who intentionally want to destroy your dreams. Sometimes they just don’t understand why you do what you do, so they voice out their concerns, which may make them seem dissenting.
Is it possible to do what you want without support?
It’s natural to want support and encouragement from the people around you, but it is possible to do what you want to do without it. Just think of how many successful, inspiring people took the road less traveled.
