2. You often judge others
你总是评判他人

No, they don’t hurt them or make them unhappy. They just do it unconsciously. Start breaking your habit of comparing yourself to others with letting go of your anger.
不断地比较自己和别人的人不幸福。不幸福的人倾向于把他们愤怒发到他们尊敬和爱戴的人身上。不,他们不伤害他们或让他们不开心。他们只是无意识地做这件事。开始打破你把自己和别人比较的习惯,让你的愤怒离去。

4. You are constantly thinking about money
你总是想着钱
Are you satisfied with your financial situation? Do you want to make more money because your friend has a higher paycheck than you? You don’t notice those things you already have and you are not satisfied with your overall life. You think that your neighbors, friends, siblings and coworkers have a better life because they can afford to buy a new car, a new phone or expensive clothing. But, are you sure that they really can afford all those things? After all, they might have lots of debts and financial problems. Moreover, money will never make you happy, remember it.
你满意你的财务状况吗?你想赚更多的钱,因为你的朋友比你更高的薪水吗?你没有注意到对于这些事情你已经对你整体生活不满意。你认为你的邻居、朋友、兄弟姐妹和同事有一个更好的生活,因为他们能买得起一辆新车,一个新的电话或昂贵的衣服。但是,你确定他们真的买得起这些东西吗?毕竟,他们可能有大量的债务和财政问题。此外,金钱永远不会让你快乐,记住它。

5. You don’t love yourself
你不爱你自己
If you don’t love yourself, it’s one of the warning signs you’re unconsciously comparing yourself to others. Probably you often say something like ‘Your hair is more beautiful than mine’ or ‘You’re so slim and I’m so plump since I can’t drop those extra pounds.’ You should never ever say such things. Learn how to love your body, accept yourself and love yourself. You are special and you are absolutely beautiful no matter your age, weight and height. I don’t need to see you to write these words. I believe everyone is beautiful but in their own way. We all have flaws so no one is perfect.
如果你不爱自己,这是一个你无意识地把自己和别人比较的警告信号。可能你经常说“你的头发比我的更漂亮”或“你太苗条,我很胖,因为我没有减掉额外的几磅。你永远不应该说这样的话。学习如何爱你的身体,接受自己,爱自己。你是特别的,你是绝对美丽的无论你的年龄,体重和身高。我不需要看到你写这些话。我相信每个人都是美丽的在他们自己的方式。我们都有缺点,没有人是完美的。


6. You want to move out
你想搬出去住
If you want to move to another city because you can’t see and be happy for your friend’s success, coworker’s happiness or neighbor’s earnings, think twice. It’s not the reason to move out. First of all, learn how to love yourself. Once you accept yourself, you will give up on the idea to move to another city/country. If someone makes you unhappy, that’s one thing. But if you think that everyone makes you unhappy, that’s another thing. The same goes for your job. Don’t quit your job because of your coworker’s success. It’s not a smart thing to do.
如果你想搬到另一个城市,因为你不想看到你朋友的成功和快乐,同事的幸福或邻居的收益,三思而后行。这不是搬出去的理由。首先,学习如何爱自己。一旦你接受自己,你将放弃搬到另一个城市/国家的这一想法。如果有人让你不开心,这是一回事。但如果你认为每个人都让你不开心,那是另一回事。这同样适用于你的工作。不要因为你的同事的成功放弃你的工作。这不是一个明智的选择。
