When we feel the other is better than us,

Because this page is not just a cat page. Today, Ad asked to share some feelings.

From the story of one of your closest friends.

That makes Add look back at the relationship in another angle

And would like to share this view with everyone

Ever?

That we feel the other person looks better than us.

He might be better. He seems more confident.

Or understand people very well.

Until sometimes we accidentally ask ourselves

"Do we still have enough?"

We'll start comparing unconsciously.

Start questioning yourself.

Although before... we never thought like that

But when looking carefully

Relationships don't decide that.

Who looks better or who is better?

But it is.

"Who is the person he chooses in real life?"

At some pace of the relationship,

It could have someone coming into the thought space.

Maybe it's because he looks attractive.

Or there's something we don't have yet.

But that doesn't mean

He'll actually replace us.

Because "the person in the head"

Probably not like "someone in a real-life relationship."

What we should do

It's not trying to change yourself to be like anyone else.

But is to get back to being stable with yourself.

You don't have to be like anyone.

To be valuable in one relationship.

And what's more important is "boundaries."

Good relationship.

It's not like we have to give up everything to keep anyone.

But both of them

Know what should and what shouldn't.

Finally,

You don't have to compete with anyone.

The only thing to see is

Did he choose you clearly?

If yes,

You don't need to prove anything more.

But if it's not,

No matter how hard you try,

It's not an area that can grow you anyway.

Sometimes.

Keeping your own values

More important than trying to heal someone.

... Read moreในชีวิตจริง หลายครั้งที่เราอาจรู้สึกไม่มั่นใจในตัวเองเมื่อต้องเปรียบเทียบกับคนอื่น โดยเฉพาะในความสัมพันธ์ที่มีคนใหม่เข้ามาในชีวิต ความคิดว่า "อีกคนดูดีกว่าเรา" เป็นเรื่องธรรมดาที่เกิดขึ้นกับทุกคน แต่สิ่งที่เรียนรู้จากประสบการณ์จริงคือ เราไม่จำเป็นต้องเปลี่ยนแปลงตัวเองเพื่อให้เหมือนคนอื่น เพราะแต่ละคนมีเสน่ห์และคุณค่าที่แตกต่างกัน ผมเคยมีความรู้สึกแบบนี้เมื่อเห็นคนรอบข้างที่ดูมั่นใจและสามารถเข้าใจคนอื่นได้ดีกว่าตัวเอง แต่เมื่อเวลาผ่านไป ผมเรียนรู้ว่าแท้จริงแล้ว "คนที่เลือกเรา" ในชีวิตจริงคือคนที่เห็นค่าในตัวตนของเรา ไม่ใช่แค่ภาพลักษณ์ที่แสดงออกภายนอก การรักษาขอบเขตในความสัมพันธ์เป็นสิ่งที่สำคัญมาก เพราะถ้าเรายอมทุกอย่างเพื่อรักษาคนที่ไม่เลือกเรา มันจะทำให้เราสูญเสียตัวตนและโอกาสเติบโตของตัวเองไป การมีความมั่นคงในตัวเองช่วยให้เราเข้าใจว่าความรักและความสัมพันธ์ที่ดี คือสิ่งที่ทั้งสองฝ่ายต้องเคารพและเห็นคุณค่าในกันและกัน นอกจากนี้ เมื่อเราหยุดเปรียบเทียบตัวเองกับคนอื่น เราจะมีพลังในการพัฒนาตัวเองในแบบที่เหมาะกับเรา โดยไม่ถูกกดดันจากความคาดหวังของสังคมหรือคนรอบข้าง การให้คุณค่ากับตัวเองมากขึ้น นอกจากจะช่วยให้เราเป็นเราที่ดีที่สุดแล้ว ยังช่วยเสริมสร้างความสัมพันธ์ที่มีคุณภาพมากขึ้นอีกด้วย ดังนั้น หากคุณเจอความรู้สึกที่ว่านี้ อย่าลืมว่าคุณไม่ต้องแข่งขันกับใคร สิ่งสำคัญคือต้องดูว่า "เขาเลือกคุณไหม" ถ้าใช่ คุณก็ไม่ต้องพิสูจน์อะไรเพิ่ม ขอแค่มั่นคงในตัวเองและเคารพขอบเขตของความสัมพันธ์นั้นๆ เท่านี้ก็เพียงพอแล้ว
