|
Social comparison is exactly what the name suggests––the act of comparing yourself to those around you––and while it can be a useful tool for self-motivation in small doses, it can also have harmful results that outweigh the benefits.

Unhealthy social comparisons are a common side effect of social media use, but it is also an easy habit to fall into when attending a prestigious institution like UChicago. If you ever feel your self-esteem falling because of social comparisons, remember that everyone’s journeys are different; just because you may feel behind your peers in some way, that does not necessarily mean that that is the truth. You got this!
