How come it seems like everyone is better than me?

I guess a lot of people aren't so sure about their own worth, and it's always nice to be able to look down on someone who you think is worse than you. Probably makes you feel better. In the absence of real achievements your own skin color/nationality/religion just has to do as THE important characteristic to base your worth on. \nThe great thing about racism is that you actually don't have to do anything to be superior. It allows even the most useless person some delusions of adequacy.

It just seems that way.  The truth is that everybody thinks they are more enlightened, just as everyone thinks they are smart and have a good sense of humor.

Competition does not make someone a better or more effective person.  It can actually do the opposite.  Teamwork and concentrating on doing the best you can do are much more effective means of developing our skills plus they do not cause us to develop a desire to put ourselves above others or to see others fail.  Competition will develop skills, but it also develops a you against the world mind set that is the root of a person's selfish desires and to telling lies or cheating or defeating others to get ahead.  Whenever you are in a situation that causes you to hope that someone else fails, then you are developing the wrong kind of skills needed to make us all excel together.  Think how much better the world would be if we developed our skills to their greatest potential and then wanted to use those skills to help others succeed too.\n\nCompetition is also a poor way to try and develop self esteem and confidence, since there will be a good portion of the kids being defeated.  At a young age, self esteem and confidence come from achieving and cooperating with others.  Teamwork exercises achieve self esteem and cooperation where competition is unable.

People who think they are better than others, havenot learned of GOD's love. Since I beleive we all came from GOD, how can one be better than another? I feel with age, and much lessons in life, one learns not to be judgemental with any one. We are all here for the same reason, but some think they are better because they arenot really sure of themselves and to compensate that their ignorance, they make others feel bad to try to make themselves feel better.

I have been considered one of the best among my classmates, with everyone expecting me to get every problem correct. Seriously, it's become a big deal if someone scores higher than me on a test. However, my parents continue to push me to hone my skills, since I'm not the best of the best yet.

the most important person in anyone's life is themself but if they have to prove it then they have low self-esteem. people can be driven by fear to be unpleasant to others but not everyone is like that so just keep away from people who don't like you. not everyone can like everyone. so it's natural to be competitive and go for what you want in life, but jealousy is just an excuse for being lazy.

It could be from where you are sitting that everyone looks that way. You must have a serious inferiority complex.

You are probably attracted to these guys because they are safe, they don't pose a challenge to you, they don't make you want to become a better person. You deserve better, but you don't believe it. Set some goals for your life, challenge yourself to learn new things, to meet people you would not normally associate with because you "think" they are better than you. Go out and help other people, volunteer at a retirement center, work at a youth center, when you are helping others, you will feel better about yourself and also you will learn that you are capable and Worth something. Live your life like you only have one life to live.

Sounds like you are young and you think everyone is out there to get you.  It is not true, you are just paying more attention to the negatives than the positives.  To solve your problem, ask those why they always respond in a negative way.  They may not notice that they are doing it until you bring it to their attention.  Keep your head up, not everyone is ot there to make your life a living hell.

If you try not to compare yourself with others, then you will fins the goodness in yourself. When you evaluate your life, do not evaluate it by the means of material things. When you refelct on your life... do just that. Reflect on YOUR life, not your life compared with the CEO next door who has 2 yachts, perfect children, and a beach house in Cabo. If you also do charity work for those who are less fortunate, you will feel better about yourself and your life.\n\nTo aviod being dissasified, again, do not compare! \n\nAnd, by the way, I'm sure you have a wonderful life with many things to be happy for. As long as you have food in your cupboard, a roof over your head and clothes on your back, you're doing better than most of the world. \n\nDid you know that if you have spare change some where (ie: cup, drawer, car change thingy holder, beside.... etc etc) then you are in the top 10% of the worlds wealthiest people!??!!?\n\nYea.. thats what I thought.

Obviously your more intelligent than most people. That's not taking a stab at ya. Some are more receptive to their world than others. You see what many are blind to. But it may be rude to correct people all the time. Gentle aknowledge their veiw and show them yours without any judgement. Don't be sorry ....just be yourself yourallright and on track.

You are being the better person by not bragging.  I know your age is hard.  My daughter is probably close to your age (she's 12 and I apologize if I didn't get even close to your age) but she is very mature for 12 and there are kids that annoy her to the point that she doesn't even want to be friends but I think she needs to learn how to be tolerable.\n\nNo one person is perfect ever so knowing this we must tolerate the differences in one another.  You know that you are a smart girl but at the same time you don't have to broadcast it because you're afraid people won't like you if you're not...that already makes you the better person.\n\nFeel good about yourself that you don't have to broadcast your strengths because you believe in your abilities and don't rely on that alone.\n\nI don't know if I helped any but you asked a really great question and I wish I would have had a forum like this to go to when I was your age.\n\nBest of luck to you.\n\n~~Theresa
