Yes This is true!
Those who compare themselves to others often become judgmental over things that God doesn't even care about. They harshly judged based on their own prejudice and personal culture rather than truth from the Bible.
I have known men who judge women as usurpers for speaking the truth of the Bible in conversation. Sadly there are many woman who have held their tongue when they should have spoken. The Holy Spirit is not a respecter of persons, He uses everyone who is born again to speak the truth into the lives of those around them.
Narcissists are always looking laterally rather than vertically. Laterally, comparing themselves with others as opposed to vertically, comparing themselves with God. Scripture is not the measure of a prideful person. The prideful person uses Scripture to compare themselves with one another to determine who is better based on their interpretation also based on their personal desires.
Godly people seek to compare themselves with God, leaving them always needing more wisdom, never having enough and never feeling superior to anyone else.
2 Corinthians 10:12-13
12 For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding. 13 But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you."
It is wise just to obey the Holy Spirit, when others come against us for doing so then we are to disregard them and continue in obedience. There will be many in these last days who will attempt to ruin your walk, discourage you from what God is telling you to do, these people are to be ignored.
1 Corinthians 14:38
"38 But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized."
In the KJV of the Bible it is translated "let the ignorant be ignorant", the meaning is "let the ignorant be ignored."
Pay no attention to those who would speak against you when you obey God. They are ignorant and not worthy of attention.
