A lot of my friends are superior to me in a lot of ways and being

STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS and focus on the shit you want to improve. There are a shit ton of people out there that are better then you genetically and other. All that matters at the end of the day is what can anon do on his own terms. Should you be mad if a Kenyan sprinter beats you is a 100 meter dash? No.

Your friends are conditioning you to be second best.

People I know who are my age have done more than I could do in years and by that point they'll have done even more. What's the fucking point if I'm always going to be fucking awful at everything while people I'm around will simply be a reminder of my inadequacy? Is it because I grew up in a family that didn't push me towards anything or am I just making excuses for being shit?
Also if I don't compare myself to others then who do I compare myself to?

Won't change that they're better than me from the get go. The facts of what I know and can do compared to them won't change with conditioning.

To yourself and what your capable of. It doesn't matter what other people can do. You can find people way worse off then you that have done even less then you. Nothing constructive comes from comparing yourself to others. Except for feeling of inadequacy and shame. Like what your doing right now. Stop comparing yourself to others and the pain goes away, then you can focus on the things you want to get good at.

>stay around people better than me
>constantly reminded that I'm shit
And trying to get better just ends up with them being better anyway or getting better than me with less effort.

compare yourself to yourself yesterday, quit thinking about how much better they are because you'll never win every battle

its not very hard

it's a lot better than having everyone around you being inferior to you. If you are a competitive person you'd understand.

Perhaps none of that is true, and you just have poor self esteem and poor self image.

>comparing yourself to others
>not just striving to be a better version of yourself whenever you can

Even if you outpaced your friends there would still be others similar to your age who outpace you out there and you may even meet them, what then? Why not even learn from your supposed superior friends and take in what they know?
