I posted this before, but it’s still relevant and explains so much. She has such an inferiority complex. She feels inferior to Tom bc he’s massively successful, while she’s……not. He married his high school sweetheart whereas she is a serial romancer.
I think she put massive amounts of weird self imposed rules and pressures on herself, just so she can even compare herself to Tom.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
IMHO there's a fine line between using someone in your life as an inspiration to motivate you to better yourself and work towards achieving your dreams and goals and using others as a measure for what the steps you were meant to reach at a certain age. The first is positive, the latter leads to a deep sense of inadequacy.
Success means something different to everyone, your story doesn't have to be like someone else's. Understanding this is the only way to be happy with your life and not covet someone else's.
