This is where comparing oneself to others actually makes sense, within reason. I agree it’s a mistake to judge your life based on milestones or achievements made by friends and family because we all have different goals and definitions of happiness.

However, in business or athletics or anything else where competition is a key component, we really need to know how we’re doing. With nothing/no one to compare ourselves to, its impossible to know whether we’re crushing it or about to be replaced.

I encounter a LOT of people who are afraid to ask for a raise when they need it, afraid to go home at the end of the day, afraid to take a full lunch break…all because they’re racing this invisible ghost and they don’t even know whether they’re winning or getting lapped.

Know where you stand. If you don’t know, ask.

Or worse, the person who is causing the harm comes at this from the perspective of the ‘hidden gem’. I.e they are abusive but it’s ok because their feelings are valid, etc. I firmly believe that messages like this text enable toxic behaviour.

wait, so this one is about the words? I just tried doing the “magic eye” thing, looking at this image on my phone, and I saw a hand flipping the bird emerging from the text on this page.

Going to plan on taking a nap today just in case. 😬

Could mean several different things, however in my case, it means someone I made YouTube sketches with. I was (or perhaps still am) an actor with an eye for cinematic quality and he’s a comedian. His toxicity made for great and highly viewed videos, but when he brought that into real life, it was way too much to deal with.
