It doesn't matter. If you start comparing yourself to others you will never be happy. You should be happy being yourself.
You should understand that you have some uniqueness within you and only you have that. So nobody in this world can be you and you can't be someone else either. If you feel that you are not good then say to yourself " I know i'am good at this.
I'am moving at my own pace and improving steadily. There is no need to compare me with others. I'am a confident person and no such things will affect me.
