I have a sure-fire way to make yourself "Feel" better about not being as good as someone else.

Buy a homeless person a cup of coffee, and talk to them for 3 minutes.

Go to a shelter, or a group home, or an addictions centre. Volunteer. Learn about people who are in a tough spot.

Go to the local courthouse and sit in on a Monday morning bail hearing. You will see all of the people picked up over the weekend asking the government for permission to rejoin the public, until their court date.

Basically, stop insulating yourself against the harsh reality of life. I believe that you will quickly learn to compare yourself to regular people, and not the super-achievers that will constantly do better than you.
