This is a perfect condition of anxiety and part of it is got to do with low self-esteem. Anxious people are constantly weighing their achievements against others and comparing themselves to the successes of others. They often do this unintentionally and sadly enough, it hurts them to think while others are successful, they may not be so. What anxious people need is constant drive and motivation through positive influences in life.
One should never make comparisons between anxious people and others nor weigh their achievements against those of their companions, friends and other members of the family. An anxious person is their own biggest critic. They may be constantly scrolling through social media hurting themselves when seeing the performances and experiences of others.

The biggest problem with anxious people is socializing because of low self-esteem and lack of confidence. Anxious people think very poorly about themselves and may feel too ugly when they are actually beautiful. They may feel they are not as smart as others when they are intelligent. They may feel they are unable to speak or conduct themselves well in public when they may do so well. The problem is that their anxiety is like a grip and a vice on their mental thought which just won’t allow their true personality and abilities to shine. Anxious people don’t like conversing and will keep to themselves or leave a function altogether.
