You’ve perfectly articulated one of life’s greatest and most liberating realizations here, Ryan. For years my thinking was also plagued by that feeling that you describe so well; that others are somehow more special, more intelligent, more accomplished, and more capable. It took me 20 years to see that I was wrong all along. I so enjoy your writing! Keep well :) Jannica

Hey Ryan. Just love your perspectives on Being Your Own Unique Self and as I call it : „Being 100% Human“.

Alison, I love hearing that my article reminds you of a similar message from a book you're reading. I agree, building a healthier, more mature relationship with ourselves is infinitely worthwhile. Thank you for commenting. :-)

Feels so good to read your words, Jannica. I love that this reminds you of your own realization around this idea. As you say, it's a profoundly liberating (and empowering) insight. As long as you keep reading, I'll keep writing. :) Until next time.
