And when it comes to friendships, that can feel a lot more intense, especially if you guys are spending quite a lot of time together, if you are maybe lacking self-confidence.
And I would say the first thing you need to do is you need to be able to build your own self-confidence outside of that friendship.
I think of this when it comes to building a business and posting content.
How many times have you, in your little group of friends or with somebody that you know, sent a video and gone, oh my God, she's being a tryhard.
Oh my God, she's a loser.
Oh my God, I can't believe she would post that.
That's so cringe.
That's so fake.
That's so this.
But then secretly deep down, you're wanting to post content, you're wanting to start a business.
It's like, well, no shit that's going to feel harder for you.
No shit you're probably going to feel like you need to pin yourself up against other females or women in your life or your friendships because you have been doing that behind closed doors with your little shitty group of friends.
And I think it's really important that if you are the person right now who feels jealous of their friends, who feels like they're constantly comparing themselves to their friends, that you do look inward.
Because at the end of the day, if you're lacking levels of confidence, tearing somebody else down or better yet your friend down, which is just diabolical behavior, it's not going to build more confidence in yourself.
Exactly like Gem said, it's doing the complete opposite.
And I would really look at the reframe of like, okay, it's normal for me to feel like I, it's normal for me to compare my life to other people on social media or my friends.
It's normal to maybe get a sense of jealousy, but how could I actively flip the script on that and start focusing on looking at it as a permission slip?
You know, for example, if Gemma does something incredible, I'm not going to sit here and go,
oh, I wouldn't have done it like that.
Why would you do that?
