I regret not going for a job at work because I didn't want to compete with my coworker for the new position. Now I'm spiraling into anxiety?

Me and my coworker were both going for this position, and there was only one available. I made a decision to remove myself from the equation because I didn't feel like causing friction at work, and I knew that this person would make the work environment unpleasant. However, I now realize that this job would have been the right career move. Can anyone help me feel better? I just feel so lost in life.
