It seems people are always comparing themselves to other people. When I tell someone that I received a certain grade on something I don't want to hear or I could of done that. I think people need to understand that there are certain types of people in this world that do certain things and to respect them and give space.

I feel the same way. I don't understand peoples needs to compare themselves to others. It just doesn't make any sense to me. People should be striving to reach their personal best, and not comparing themselves to each other.

Dear Circle 989898, I agree completely. When a person shares something that makes them happy, why not respond with 'congratulations' or 'Good for you!'. Do you think some people have jealousy problems?
