I am a professional, relatively successful person, but can't stop comparing myself to friends in the same field as me, and when they do well, I feel rubbish and insecure, imagining them as better at their job than me. I even can convince myself I am useless and should just give up (this can happen in the blink of an eye). I am self employed, so have to constantly motivate myself.
I know I am being ridiculous but need to give myself a pep talk, so looking for easy things to do to snap myself out of it. Humorous things would be good - I could use a laugh.
Anyone got any tips?
