"Just because certain conditions in your life are relatively better, it doesn't mean you're better off in general."
"When you're having a hard time, it's natural to feel like you're having the hardest time in the world. And it's not selfish to feel that way."
"You're attempting to silence your own complaints by thinking, 'At least I'm better off than them.' And the world is full of so much suffering that it's the easiest thing to find people who are having a harder time than you are. But once you do, you then insist on taking the extra step of berating yourself: 'How could I have been so blind to that person's hardships until now?'
It's nice that you think of other people's feelings and pay attention to them. But I want you to take stock of yourself a bit. Of your own feelings."
"Extremes tend to connect. For example, people who appear arrogant tend to have low self-esteem. They keep trying to get others to look up to them."
"It's not your looks themselves that generate your obsessiveness. It's because you have this idealised version of yourself in your head that you're so obsessed with your looks."
