One of my favorite sayings is "Don't compare the inside of your life to the outside of someone else's life."
When people ask me how I am, I usually say "Oh, failing and flailing in all directions. How about you?" I find that disarms people, and they feel a lot more free about sharing their current pain points.

- sfx 14y agoOne nice variation of that quote I've been seeing is "Don't compare your behind the scenes to someone else's highlight reel". It's far too easy for us to reflect on all the daily hurt and trials we go through, only to compare it to someone else's most glorious 15 minutes and feel like we've failed. When in reality most of us are fighting some sort of battle, many just hide it well.
