How that leads one into a downward spiral of expectations they can’t achieve and an endless cycle of self-hatred. How comparison can subtly infiltrate friendships and relationships. Also how it can make you lose sight of your goals (especially ones that aren’t as conventionally held) and how it causes the need to change oneself to fit a certain persona/ be a certain person.

I deal with a lot of (diagnosed) depression and anxiety, but my parents don’t let me get medication or see a therapist. They have their reasons, but they don’t understand that I need help. I don’t want to burden my friends with topics as big as these, because of course, they’re my friends, not therapists.
