According to Osho, when your need for praise or fear of rejection is triggered, the mind slips into comparison and competition—the very foundations of despair. You create a self-made hell: jealousy, hurt, and constant measuring against others. The remedy is to stop comparing and simply be yourself—unique and incomparable. In that witnessing acceptance, jealousy dissolves and praise or rejection loses power.
When you chase approval or fear being disliked, you start comparing and suffer; drop comparisons and rest in being uniquely you.
