Why do some people always focus on others instead of living their own life?

People focus on other's life instead of their own for one reason - INSECURITY.

Those people who have felt insufficiency in their own life tend to compare themselves to others. Moreover, comparing is vexatious to the spirit. There's always lesser and better person than someone else. Doing so will lead someone to focus on what he doesn't have and what other's have which bespeaks of one's insecurities and own kind of miseries.

If other people tried to dictate you to do this and that without focusing on their own, it's because they wish nothing but your downfall. They find gratification of seeing others suffer. There's nothing wrong with you. It's other people's judgment and insecurities that are faulty and that highlight your inadequacy.

Just continue to focus on your own life and career. People are different. Besides, there's no two individuals who are completely alike, even twins. As long as you are minding your own business, you are always in the good side of the river. Keep paddling your own canoe, you will eventually get to your destination while living those who backstab you behind.
