I compare myself with me, yesterday. I'm the only person I need to compare myself to. I know me better than anyone else, and I can't possibly know the inner motivations and conditions of another person. If I have to compare myself to other people, I almost always compare myself unfavorably to others. I can always find a reason to think that they are better off than me, and deserve to be. What's the point of that? I may as well just look to myself. Am I a better person today? Was I selfish yesterday? Is this the best I can be, or can I be better today?
In my art, I've always compared myself to artists I admire, and find flaws with my own work in comparison. It's helped me set goals for myself and really push myself farther than I ever thought I could go.
Then again, I'm guilty of the flip-side too -- I'll look at artists who aren't so good as me, and I'll find a little satisfaction in myself that I've passed that point.
I dont compare myself to anyone. Frankly there is no one like me. I 'admire' a few very unique people and strive to develop the qualities in which they have but i also find that i already share the qualities as them and that might be why i admire them.
