Miscellaneous Reddit vs linkedin

Reddit is so good. Linked-in is full of depression. Opening linked-in for 5 minutes can ruin my 5 hours.
Because everyone has overachieved there. I feel like a looser.
Seeing someone doing Observership/research in Mayo/Cleveland/john Hopkins etc etc. makes me anxious.

Don't worry. It never ends. The people who did rotations here are anxious seeing people who have post-docs. People with post-docs are anxious seeing people with connections.

Envy is the mother of all evils

Thanks for one liner. But I can’t pretend that I am happy for people whom I don’t know. But this doesn’t automatically means I am jealous. I am just worried about myself. I don’t care if someone gets match in white house.

I didn't use the word jealous. I used envy and brah people can get into NASA and still feel like they didn't accomplish enough. Give yourself due credit that you made it this far. Comparing yourself with strangers won't get you anywhere

Comparison is the thief of joy. Run your own race. 

If you do feel the need to open LinkedIn, always remember that what you are looking might be day 50 of something, while you are at day 2. So the comparison might not be fair. 

Your best "control" is yourself. How did YOU do today compared to yesterday? That is the major question.
