Sis, I need to talk to you about why you compare yourself to women he follows every time you look at his phone.
You know you shouldn’t look. You know it hurts. You know nothing good comes from it.
But you can’t stop yourself.
You scroll through the women he follows on Instagram. The models. The influencers. The ex-girlfriends. The random beautiful women whose lives look perfect.
And you compare every part of yourself to them:
Their bodies vs. yours
Their faces vs. yours
Their lives vs. yours
Their confidence vs. yours
Their everything vs. your everything
And you come up short. Every single time.
They’re:
Thinner, curvier, fitter
More beautiful, more polished, more perfect
More interesting, more adventurous, more accomplished
More confident, more effortless, more desirable
And you’re… not enough.
So you spiral:
Is this what he wants?
Am I not attractive enough?
Does he wish I looked like them?
Is he comparing me to them?
Am I the consolation prize?
And the comparison doesn’t end when you close the app. It follows you. Into the bedroom. Into the mirror. Into every moment you’re together.
I see how this is destroying you. How you’re measuring your worth against curated images of strangers. How you’re convinced these women represent what he really wants.
And I see you wondering: “Why can’t I stop comparing myself? Why does it hurt so much? Does he compare me to them? How do I stop feeling less than?”
This isn’t about them, sis. It’s about you not believing you’re enough.
Let me help you understand why you compare yourself to women he follows online—and how to finally stop.
