Q: I am 24 years old. My problem is that I feel that I cannot impress people the way my sister does although I try my best. My sister has a dashing personality but I don't. I feel very depressed, please suggest?

A:Its always going to be difficult for you to feel happy and content if you keep comparing yourself to others. Any other person, your sister in this case, will either be better or worse than what you are and such comparisons can never be fruitful. You think your sister has a dashing personality and you are probably trying to emulate her. In this whole process, you are failing to see your own self. There must be certain things and people you are good with. Each person has their own set of positive and negative aspects. Don't delve too hard on your negativities. Polish your positive aspects and let them shine. The way we interact with people also reflects what we feel about ourselves. And inferiority doesn't contribute positively to any interaction. Do not pity your self, know your better side and show it. Way to go!
