low self esteem because comparing self with others

All my friends recently got jobs in big companies with pretty huge salaries. I am struggling to find a job even in a small company with very little salary. Even though we all have the same qualifications, they are way too smarter and better than me. Everyone around me is doing way too well in life. I don't see a very good future for me. In some years, I think I might become a nobody. I never even had one relationship when my other friends have experienced break ups, new relationships and everything. On the contrary, I got rejected twice (what's funny is that I'm a girl). I'm just a nobody.

Hey Don’t be upset. All these things happen in life and your time will come, be strong that you’ve been till now. Also, your success is not judged by your financial power but by your nature. I feel your a wonderful person so be like that and you ain’t alone 😊

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. Comparing yourself isn’t a solution for anything. Everyone’s growth process is different. What are your goals? Have you been working on them? Financial independence is important but it should not be compared with anybody else. They have their own struggle that we don’t know about. It’s okay if you were not able to get into a relationship, it is a part of life, try to meet new people. Just don’t push yourself for anything. Try to be you. You are a person of worth. Don’t compare yourself, rather set benchmarks for yourself and try to compete with yourself not others.
