Human rating is our judgment of ourselves compared to other people. I hope that you find that you can step back from some of these resources and see that you're a good person.
Ever find yourself scrolling through social media, feeling like everyone else has it all together while you're just trying to keep up? In this episode of 'Counseling On Demand', Dr. Fred Riley, often dubbed 'the best damn therapist', tackles the concept of human rating. This is the idea of constantly measuring ourselves against others, whether it’s our talents, possessions, or overall life achievements. Dr.
Riley explains that while this kind of comparison can sometimes push us to improve, it often leaves us feeling inadequate and stressed out. Using the example of Susan Boyle's unforgettable audition on 'Britain's Got Talent', where initial judgments were shattered by her stunning performance, Dr. Riley illustrates how quickly we form opinions based on superficial assessments.
He dives into how social media amplifies this issue, making us feel like we’re always falling short compared to the curated lives we see online. But it's not all doom and gloom. Dr. Riley offers practical advice to help you reclaim your self-worth. He suggests taking a week-long break from social media and using that time to evaluate how you feel about yourself in different areas like finances, possessions, and personal achievements. The goal?
To realize that you are more than enough, just as you are. With his usual blend of empathy and straightforward advice, Dr. Riley provides a roadmap for overcoming the negative impacts of human rating. This episode is a must-listen if you're tired of the constant comparison game and ready to start feeling better about yourself.
