    I compare myself with Chuck Norris, and I consistently come out the better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 938 ✭✭✭Hasmunch


    Yes.......mainly cos i am so much better than everyone else and it makes me feel so good:pac::pac:

    Me and the other lads down at the old people's centre compare dick sizes on a weekly basis. Mine isn't the longest however when it comes to girth I'm a winner.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    No. Except you - and I 'm confident I'm a better person than you in every way.

    I'm joking FFS. You're probably Fabulous!

    Should've saved that for page two really...

    I don't compare myself to other people.i worry what other people think of me to an extent. What's the point?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,166 ✭✭✭enda1

    In all seriousness, it is difficult not to compare yourself to other people. However, has I've gotten older (to the ripe old age of 27:)) I find I am doing it less and less.

    I have now become comfortable with ME. I don't think I am any better or any worse than anyone else.

    People need to accept that we all have different strengths and weaknesses.

    The worst thing is though, you may stop comparing yourself to others, but it doesn't stop others trying to compare you to others. This has been my experience anyway and I find it very frustrating.

    Took me a while to realise that no one is superior to you, we are all part of the same compost heap. We're all heaps of dust at the end of the day

    Not on a fundamental level ie. they are such a better/worse person than me but I will look at how I compare to other people in certain areas especially things where I perceive myself to be weak and them strong, maybe learn from them.

    Sometimes i compare myself to Michael Phelps. We were born on the same day. He is 10 inches taller than me, has 14 more Olympic gold medals than me, has 10 million more in the bank than me and eats about 7,000 calories more a day than me but im confident i could drink him under the table.

    He's more of a stoner I believe. He'd smoke you under the table.
