The cycle of shame can be a vicious one, where feelings that stem from shame lead to more shame until the victim becomes isolated and starts believing they’re unworthy. The shame cycle might look like this: Engage in...

Comparison makes us feel inadequate, deflated, and leads to low self-esteem. I know because I'm in it, and have been in it!...
