I think everyone is always measuring themselves against other people to a certain degree; it happens automatically, and it's hard not to be this way at least some of the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can only really judge yourself in comparison to other people. How bad you are, but you're not as bad as someone else. So it's degrees of losing.
You have to study the people and the ones that measure up are not always the ones you expect.
I think people really need to think what it's like to have all of society arrayed against you.
People are always going to identify with what it's like living in society and have people judge you in certain ways, and how you can be strong enough to be your own person and all those good things.
I always see myself as, like, equal to everyone.
We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others by their acts.
I'm convinced that if we don't define ourselves, other people will do it for us, and inaccurately.
I've never tried to measure myself on any scale. A person is more multifaceted than the label they often get stuck with. On the other hand someone's whole behaviour allows you to characterise them in a certain way. This person has liberal convictions, that person has conservative ones, this person is a radical socialist, and so on.
Self-actualized people are independent of the good opinion of others.
I think there are certain ways that people are always themselves, but I do think people change.
