Answer 1

Your dilemma stems from the fact that you have a high comparison level and a high comparison level for alternatives.

Explanation:

• A person with a high comparison level is often found involved in comparing people and things around him with other things (most probably the ones that he wishes to own or have for himself).
• In cases where he is potentially able or eligible to switch to an alternative, his brain automatically chooses to compare the costs and benefits involved in switching.
