What do you do to not feel so insecure or compare youself to other women?

Honestly, I still compare myself sometimes even until now. It’s hard not to. But when I catch myself doing it, I try to focus on what I do like about myself, even if it’s something small. I also limit time on social media because that stuff makes it worse. It’s a work in progress but I try to be kinder to myself each day that comes.
Compliment them. When I see other women that I’m envious of, I’ll think what I’m jealous of and either compliment them in my head to myself or give them the compliment. It’s turned it from a negative to a positive for me and its helped me feel better about myself.
I also have done tons of work to accept myself for what I look like/ who I am and work to be who I want to be and how I want to look.

I don’t compare myself to other women. I’m me and I could never be say JLO so what’s the point?
I don’t think about other people much, especially strangers. They have 0 impact on my life 99% of the time. I’m my own person, my own brand of interesting/fuckedup.
I feel a lot of solidarity with women, when I was younger I often thought other people were better than me in how they had nice jobs or bought houses ect. I might compare myself to a woman and then think yeah but she is an olympic athlete or she is a world famous singer so I was like that I’d probably have a helicopter or something. I am sometimes envious of the youth and time and potential ahead of younger women. When I was very young, an older woman snubbed me quite badly and I had incidents of older women being jealous and unkind so I decided never to do that to younger women. One woman I do envy a bit is someone who came to me for lessons, she’s very well known, absolutely gorgeous, amazing skills and has an adoring new husband and perfect baby, oh and incredible support from her family. But then I think yeah but she came to me for lessons. I don’t really suffer badly from comparison now. I think women are amazing and some of the comments I’ve seen here have had me crying with laughter too.
I’m happy with my own life and secure in who I am. If I see someone that looks cool or does cool stuff, I just try it too and see how I like it. I realized nothing stops me from becoming the person I want to be and nothing stops me from trying a hairstyle I like on Person A or getting into crochet like Person B.
Dont get me wrong, it’s not about copying someone, it’s about getting inspired and exploring cool stuff instead of just starring and getting jealous.
I just don’t think about them much tbh. Not in the sense of avoiding thinking about them, more like it doesn’t occur to me to do so. Their lives have nothing to do with mine.
