I solve this by not comparing myself to others based on internet postings, rather only compare myself to others in real life. I think there is a name for these events, in which people gather under a set guideline for competition, under the watchful eye of an official body who determines whether said rules are adhered to, to compete head to head against one another in the same environment, and at the end of which a general classification is provided of how competitors finished in relation to one another (and generally all enjoy post event adult beverages), but I cannot remember what they are called right now...
