It’s nice to be positively compared to someone else. Even negative comparisons can lead to being labeled. Then, your own individuality may struggle to shine through.

I will remember not to compare people to others I know. Each person is unique and should be seen that way. I often tell someone they remind me of someone else, not realizing that I might be assuming they share the same traits as that person.

It’s sometimes difficult to stay open-minded. I will keep working on it.
