Just so you know, there is no inside. Nope
And there is no way to get there.
What there is are people who are happy and way to busy to compare their lives to any one else's.
The problem with comparing you life (or any kind of experience for that matter)with any one else has to do with the insides and the out sides. You can only ever see from your inside, and no one else ever can. You can compare two other people, but never yourself to anyone else. Trying to do so is the most self destructive behavior I can think of at the moment, and Teens seem do it constantly.
