Wanting to be better than someone will actually hinder you in the long run.

No it doesn't, wanting to be better is good because it gives you goals to always try be better

I agree. Focus on bettering yourself for YOU not for anyone one else. It will make you a better person overall and if you are constantly trying to "beat" someone else you will never focus on yourself

Has someone told you that you aren't as 'good' as your cousin?

What would 'better' than everyone else look like?

Why do you care? Do what you can do, don't worry about what others are capable of.

You don’t need to better than anyone, stop trying to impress people because at the end of the day you’re making them happy and not yourself. So my advice is ignore the haters and keep doing you :smile:

No I just think he's better
Better than everyone else would just be like better possessions, better behaviour, more money, better career, more friendly etc

So you dislike yourself? And you think that pretending to be someone else will make this go away?

You can't beat everyone. You can try, but if you are genuinely incapable of beating someone, you shouldn't dwell on it. "I just do" isn't good enough. You want to be "better" which is fair. Now, whether that means beating your cousin or not, only time can tell. If you do, then cool. If not, don't dwell and move on.

Firstly, it'd help to have the correct SPAG. Secondly, I never said you're dwelling. I said you can try to beat them, but if you don't, then you shouldn't dwell.
