Self-Esteem...Constantly comparing yourself to others.

As a woman I know I do this ALL the time....I blame certain things on myself for situations not working out...whether it be I didnt look good enough, or I must have said the wrong thing, he met someone better than me, I didn't impress them enough in the interview...e.t.c. I'm constantly finding all these flaws, because I compare myself to other people...When I get dissapointed in a relationship, or rejected in any way, I don't handle it well at all...I think my self-esteem issues have played a big role in my drinking (aside from alot of other things)...Can anyone else relate to this? It might sound selfish or weird, but I feel like I always have be the best in every way...and I know I'm not..there's always going to be someone, prettier, smarter, funnier, richer etc...Has anyone had this problem?, and if so, how have you learned to love yourself and stop putting yourself down and comparing yourself to other people? Thanks for reading
