i'm literally out here comparing myself to this gorgeous girl who's not only sweet and super kind, but radiates beauty on the inside and out. here I am, feeling ugly because of it. and I hate myself for the comparison, for the jealousy. I hate how it makes me feel

I understand what you are saying- but I bet if she were in your shoes, she wouldn’t do this. Regardless of how you perceive you look on the outside, you can always be like her inside if you really want. And that what really matters. Then you could an inspiration to someone who thinks and feels the same way about you!

yeah that's true...comparison is the thief of joy. and it's not that i see myself as an ugly person (on the inside or out), it's just i lose sight of my own beauty when i compare it to someone else's. we are different, and we both have flaws, learning to appreciate others' beauty without discrediting my own is optimal.

"Just because you don't look like somebody you think is attractive, doesn't mean you aren't attractive. Flowers are pretty but so are Christmas lights but they look nothing alike."

Beauty is the most subjective thing in the world. You think she’s flawless, someone else might look at her like “meh,” and yet someone else will think you’re gorgeous.

We all need to realize what a waste of emotional energy comparison is.
