Holiday Comparisonitis: The Annual Sport Nobody Trains For

December is the month when everyone’s life suddenly looks like a magazine cover.

At least… that’s how it appears online.

But here’s the truth nobody advertises:

Half the people posting holiday sparkle are crying in the bathroom between events.

A woman in an orange sweatshirt stands before a row of funhouse mirrors, each reflecting a distorted, exaggerated version of her face with humorous expressions.

When your identity feels like a funhouse — stretched here, squished there — offer yourself the most normalizing truth:
“You’re allowed to be many things at once.”

 

Comparisonitis hits hard because December is a performance-heavy month.
We see curated joy and forget it’s curated.

But comparison is rarely about envy.
It’s usually about wanting something you’re not letting yourself name:

  • belonging
  • connection
  • rest
  • clarity
  • stability
  • meaning

Instead of comparing, try gently asking yourself:

“What do I imagine they have — and what is my soul actually longing for?”

That’s where your power lives.

If the season is triggering old ache or inner narratives, the Healing The Wanting series walks you through understanding and reshaping those patterns with compassion, not pressure.
