This is such a great post especially for someone who has low self esteem issues.
We often compare ourselves to other people and trying to be like them in order to please them and get accepted in a group.
We are social entities and we crave acceptance and belongingness so we try our best to please everyone.
We don't want to be divergent from the herd and often this makes us unhappy and always second guessing ourselves.
The moment we stop trying to impress and please everyone makes life simpler.
