In some ways yes... like honestly more than anything, I'm competitive when it comes to myself and my own performance. I grew up playing golf, and individual sport, huge physical and technical component to the game, but the mental is maybe an even bigger part of performing well... so it's like yeah, I've learned to just reflect on myself and my own game and always try to outdo myself and improve with every outing... It's a very humbling game.
But I'm never trying to one-up people. Honestly, I hate that... like in recent years I've felt people trying to do that to me and it's just not a good feeling. Like man, "we're just here chilling and having fun, why do you have to make everything a competition? It's ruining the mood for everyone." Like there IS no competition here!
Then things go "wrong" for them and there's a huge outburst and it's like "you've made a scene in front of everyone now and I'm embarrassed, and YOU should be," you know? And it's like suddenly, nobody is having fun anymore... almost like they're frustrated and "their time is ruined" so they go and ruin it for everyone else so that everyone's on the same level now.
It's absolutely ridiculous... and I thought I could just like kick back and chill with some of my long time friends, but somewhere along the way, it's like they developed something where they need to feel like the big dog all of the sudden, and I have no idea where it came from... but it is a HUGE buzzkill.

Only to become better myself. Not to throw it in anyone’s face
I truly hate competition is not for me. I always want to be very good at something but I hate competing with others and never felt the need to be the best at something but it happened many times in my life since I was a kid where I became the best at something when that was never my goal I just wanted to be good at it.
I really really was. (Gladiator style/ sue-you-if-I-lose type lol) Now I live for the thrill. 🤙
I have no beef with humanity.
Just stay out my lane!

Yes, if I see someone doing something better than me or even on a similar skill level, it usually pisses me off like crazy haha.
And it's not enough for me to win, I need to make it look easy too.
I don't know why I'm like this, maybe it's cuz I was always a jack of all trades. It made people jealous of me and for most of my life I thought people were assholes because I wasn't doing good enough.
Only in a playful sense. I don't need to feel better than other people but little competitions and games are more fun when you really want to win.
Nope, don't care. Just like in Field Day in Elementary School I was even excited about my fourth place ribbon. I just had fun.
No I dont care about other peoples opinions and any girl that makes me compete isn't worth it, unless its competing for my future (job, school)
I get amped during Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Buffaloes sports events, and I talk LOTS of trash during games. So... I guess I'm competitive. I don't like losing 😂
Yes and no. I play for fun unless you light that fire in me. Then I will f***ing end you. And I don't like that side of me so I really don't like playing really competitive people.
Only when it comes to playing any sort of games (except mind games), yes!
no. i don’t want attention on me since it gives me anxiety
My biography literally describes me as a professional competitor. Men have to be competitive to have success in life
I am competitive but not super competitive. I am not obsessed with winning all the time.
I'd say I'm a little competitive because I like winning
I struggle to see the point relationship wise.
To compete with her current or her brother/dad? Why bother?
Competitive with myself, not with others. I set personal goals, etc., but I rarely compete with others.
Yes I am a competitive person that enjoys competition. It makes everyone better.
Nope. I’m just not. I don’t care enough to be competetive. Seems meaningless to me.
