Everybody has already chimed in with great advice and perspective shifts, so I’ll just add these:
Try to think in terms of relative improvements, not raw wattage increases. 235 → 285 is 21%; 118 → 200 is 69%. You’re targeting a 3x improvement over the guy at 285, even though your raw watts are lower.
Genetics gives some people a leg up and not others, and power meters and trainers can be allllllllll over the accuracy map. Keep that in mind when you compare yourself to other people, and try to focus on your own improvements against your own baseline.
