[NAKED Podcast] How Do I Stop Comparing Myself to My Friend Who Has It All Together?

Welcome to NAKED Questions, the space where we strip down emotions, complex thoughts, and the questions we all share but often avoid. In this episode, we’re diving into a universal struggle: comparison. We received a letter that captures a silent battle many of us know all too well—the frustration, and yes, even envy, that creeps in when you feel like you’re giving it your all, yet somehow fall short when compared to that friend who seems to have it all.

You probably know someone like this: the friend with a stable relationship, a dream job, time to travel, and the ability to make everything look effortless. It’s as if life handed them a secret recipe they didn’t share. But is the perfection they project really as flawless as it seems? And why does measuring ourselves against these images affect us so deeply?

Today, we’ll explore why falling into the comparison trap is so harmful and how we can learn to appreciate our own journey—even when it feels like everyone else is moving faster or with fewer struggles. We’ll reflect on unrealistic expectations, the influence of social media, and how to redefine success on our own terms. Get ready to question not only that seemingly perfect friend but also the stories we tell ourselves about what it means to “have it all.”
