A video for students who compare themselves to others and how to deal with it (real talk)

In this video, I want to widen your perspective on the topic of comparing yourself to others as a student. I share my own thoughts and stories and hopefully you’ll leave this video feeling much better about your situation :)

    What a blessing to find this channel. Currently resitting A levels, comparing myself to those that got the grades to get into their dream uni. Thank you for all of the videos you continue to make, usually you watch a video on how to not compare yourself and it doesn’t make a difference but what you say really sinks in. You are so inspiring and what you say feels like no one’s ever said before. Thank you

    6:10 I think what you're trying to say is that it's natural to compare yourself to others; but it's the way you compare yourself to them. Don't make it about raw intelligence. Make it more about the dedication and hard work. Don't make it about the numbers, make it about the effort. Even if someone is clearly more smart than you without trying, don't be mindful of that- but get to their level through hard work. just try to be better than your old self. it's you against you.

    This video was very helpful and made me feel much better about myself,especially knowing that I'm not alone!I live in Germany and I'm currently doing my Abitur (similar to A-Levels) and I'm putting so much pressure on myself to get my desired GPA so that I can study psychology (or just to have many opportunities overall if I'm not interested in being a psychologist anymore), but there is this girl in my class that makes me feel so bad about myself,everyone talks about her and how good and smart she is and that is really making me doubt myself and my abilities. This kind of helped me try to look at it from a different perspective and tell myself :"She is working much harder than you can imagine;she is not just "naturally smart".You will get there when you put more effort in to what you are doing".Even though I now realized this,It will honestly take a lot of time to really internalize this thought process for myself,but at least it's something. This was also only one of the two videos I found that really talked about this toxic comparison to other students.I never thought I could find a video that talks about that struggle tbh. So thanks a lot!!🙌Made me much more motivated!
