Theodore RooseveltComparison is the thief of joy.
About This Quote
Comparison is the thief of joy meaning people can become overly critical of their own lives and others that do things differently. When we compare ourselves to others, we lose perspective and that can lead to depression and anxiety. We feel bad about ourselves and we stop doing things for ourselves and who we want to be. Comparing ourselves with others is a trap and we should learn not to do it.
