As a lifelong social anxiety sufferer, this has been a great problem for me, but I now have it under pretty decent control. What I learned over the years is that I shouldn't compare myself to people because I always find myself coming up short. For whatever reason, we compare ourselves to those who we think are better than us, and not those who we think are worse and we always come up on the short end.
What I did do is that I learned to just focus on what I can do and develop that to a very high level. As a result, I am now a very talented person at different business and interpersonal aspects, but again, there are many things that I also cannot do. However, I have chosen to focus on what I can do, and that is very powerful.
