How do you deal with the fact that someone's better than you at something?

I don't know whether I am mentally ill.. but I just can't cope with it and take it extremely personally and competitive

At least that get's me going sometimes

I use it as motivation, even if I somehow was at the top, I’d still believe that there was a person above, and I would keep pushing further. If you knew you were at the top, would you keep pushing yourself to do more in that area? Or would you stagnate and wait?

To face facts someone is better than you in most likely everything you do. It’s just something everyone faces and accepts without a second thought on the matter.

There are plenty of people who are better than me in many things lol

I don't need to deal with it. It's a fact. It's good to have such people around

[rosemilk]

you use that as motivation to get even better

There will always be someone better. I just compete with myself.

I accept the inevitability of there being people out there who are better than me at some things. In fact, somewhere out there, there are even a select few people who are better than me at everything.
