Of course I think everyone is better than me. I graduated high school behind both my twin sister and my younger brother due to depression/anxiety problems. I failed the second semester of my sophomore year at college, but I didn't have a major in mind anyway. So I dropped out. Since then I've been unable to hold any kind of job, and I've basically been stagnating like a pond full of algae in the August sun. I've even wondered about suicide* from a purely practical perspective, as I don't feel like I've been making any positive contribution to anything. In the time I've been adrift I've watched everyone I know improve and move on with their lives except for me.
But I also have moments where I think, "Heck if someone that dumb/handicapped/rotten/etc. can do that, so can I! And I know I can do it better!" So most of the time I feel like complete and utter garbage. But every once in a while I come to my senses and realize what a wonder I really am.
* Suicide is never a valid option. If you experience thoughts of suicide, either seek professional help immediately or find someone to smack some sense into you.
