As writers, your intrepid hosts here at Around the Writer's Table have all grappled with comparison itis throughout our creative journeys. It's a common issue that plagues many writers, stemming from imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the fear of missing out on the success of others.Listen in as we discuss how we've learned to approach these feelings with mindfulness and actively countering them with self-trust. We also caution against seeking external validation to make up for our own insecurities and doubts. Instead, we talk about how to celebrate your own writing accomplishments and lean on supportive friends and communities. Navigating comparison itis is an ongoing process, but one that has ultimately strengthened our craft and resilience as writers.

Top 5 Takeaways:
1. Comparisonitis is linked to imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and FOMO.
2. Mindfulness and self-awareness are crucial for processing these emotions.
3. Learn how to trust your own experiences, not external validation.
4. Be cautious of reviews and critique groups as sources for writer improvement.
5. Celebrate your own writing accomplishments and lean on supportive communities.
