"It bothers me when I learn someone is better than me at something I'm good at." Do you agree or disagree with this?

[Still-alive]

So lets say you are good at doing something... like driving or some sports. however you know of someone personally who is better than you at it. Does this bother you? if so how does it bother you?

Strongly agree. it does bother me when i know someone who is better than me at something i am good at

Agree

Disagree

Strongly disagree. It doesn't bother me at all when i learn someone is better than me at something im good at

It really depends on what it is. Some things it would bother me, others it wouldn't bother me

[Smashingdoozy]

No, someone being good or better at something doesn't take away from my experience. There's always going to be people who are better than you at something, spending your life as a green monster is only going to make you miserable

[Still-alive]

Why green? can he not be purple? :P

jk lol

[Smashingdoozy]

Green is the color of jealousy

I think if its sometime you have really worked hard at , I've had this a number of times , I think of course you are disappointed , you maybe best in your school / group , but then you see reality.

Almost none of us can be the best in the world at anything. Unless someone is keeping score, it's not possible to directly compare two people, so there is no "best in the world"

[itsalyssaagain]

I’ll be completely honest… if it’s something I take a lot of pride in then yes. I’ll probably be a bit jealous lol.


If it’s something silly then nah I’m not so bothered.

[Still-alive]

i appreciate the honesty :)

Yes when it comes to games!!! I want to win every time 😡

[Kayla45]

Lol relatable, my husband is better than me at games. So we usually play cooperative games with each other. :)

[Genie23]

@Kayla45 Awwwww!!! ❤️ That's actually very smart and sweet at the same time. If I were you, I'd play against him and accuse him of cheating every time. "You have cheat codes. You're disqualified. I won!!!" 🤣

[Sparkie460]

It doesn't matter to me because I know there are people who are better than me. I tip my hat, if I wore one, to them.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It all depends on what the person is better at
