why can it feel so competitive?

it’s so hard to see others’ scars as they seem worse than mines and i feel an uncontrollable urge to “overachieve” them so i can feel valid again. i’v been clean for over a month now and it’s so incredibly hard not to relapse.
any thoughts from you?

it’s such a stupid thing but

i close my beans and deep styroes up with steristrips so they don’t open up every now and then and don’t get infected. but when they heal up closed they look so lame or idk how to describe it, and it makes me feel so fake and invalid

do any of you guys have thoughts on this?
