Struggling with Self-Esteem While Trying to Get My Life Together

Please don't be so hard on yourself. I am a little jealous and proud of you going to GED classes. I was taking GED classes but the teacher went awol and so there was no more classes.🙏🤗

Choosing who you are comparing yourself to, your reference point, is really important. Studies show that bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists, because silver medalists compare themselves to the one person who is better than them, while bronze medalists compare themselves to everyone who didn't get a medal. I know it's tough to reframe your reference points though
