This probably won't be much help but all I could think while reading your post and any following - Why all the comparison?? Keeping up with the Johnses is one of the biggest downfalls of many people today. When you compare yourself to someone else and attempt to copy them constantly then you end up trying to become something that you are not. Focusing on your strengths, improving those strengths for your own betterment and not for the attention of others is what will help you feel more confident.
I've tried emulating others because I respected them or because of hero worship. I always felt like I fell short. The biggest reason was because I was trying to be something that wasn't ME.
