[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a sister that constantly compares herself to me. She has an amazing life yet still laments that I have a better life - I was thinner than her as a child, or had easier kids, or better work/life balance, etc. She internalizes most of it which is awful for her mental health.

I wish she would stop comparing herself and start living and embracing the life she has. She would be much happier for it. Much like social media, you never know what someone else's demons and challenges are so you are comparing yourself to a fictional story.[/quote]
But she can't. She thrives on some unhappiness and nothing will ever be good enough or nice enough for her. Some people seek content within themselves, because they are that smart and emotionally secure to know that they are responsible for their own happiness, life choices, etc.
Others can't find it within, and keep comparing to others, always a victim of something, never the person responsible for their own happiness, unhappiness. It is easier to do this than to take responsibility for your own actions. Once again, emotional vampires.[/quote]
