Is it normal to constantly compare myself to others?

I constantly compare myself, and my achievements, to other people my age. I try really hard to achieve the best I can but of course there are people my age who have achieved more than me. This depresses me almost constantly but I can't stop myself from comparing myself to others. I even deleted my facebook account because all I would use it for is to see how far my facebook friends have got in life compared to me but it did not help much. Is it normal that you can't stop comparing yourself to others?

    It just seems like they've accomplished more but they probably havent. They're just content with what they have and They dont stop to worry about what everybody else has achieved because they're busy living their own life. You cant compare urself to others because ur not them, their life is completely different than yours. U just gotta do you and go after what u want in life and stop worrying about what other people are achieving. For all u kno people are thinkin the same thing about u.
