Nostalgia isn't all bad...in fact it's believed to improve your mood.

  Yeah, for a short moment. Longer tern it likely leads to not appreciating the present.

    Comparing your past self to your present self can be extremely destructive if you think you were in a better place then than you are now. Maybe sometimes it’s abjectly true - you became homeless and in the past you weren’t so it was better back then. In a lot of cases you’re probably looking back on a high moment while in the middle of a low moment. Either way, the comparison does far more harm than good and it might well hold you back.
