Re: Clicky- Competitive

  • As a runner and someone trying to make a living in a very competitive sport, I would say that I am! I don't think I'm too mean about it or anything though, I just want to be my best. I don't compete against others as much as I try to better my own skills.

  • Nope. My parents were wayyyy too competitive with each other when I was growing up, and they'd try to compete with me as a way to "motivate" me.

    So I got spiteful and basically said, "Okay, fine, compete with me; I'm going to go over there and read a book. Let me know when you're done." Big Smile And that's pretty much how I handle it now, unless it's all in the name of good fun; I'd rather lose a game/competition than have to deal with a sore loser.

  • I am competitive about everything. I think it's because I am the middle child.

  • Most of the time, I am not competitive with other people, but I am always competitive with myself.  So, for example, if I was dying after doing 20 minutes on the stair-stepper, then the next day I go I'm like, 'I am going to hit 21, no matter what.'

    I am also competitive with my H, but only in things where I legitimately think I have a chance of beating him.  He's probably the smartest / most successful person I've ever met, and so I don't compete with him on many fronts, but we do have a few really weird things we compete on (bowling, our version of the "slug bug" game, and 'Wheel of Fortune' to name a few), and when we are competing I want to totally kick his @ss, even though I know he'll be miserable to be around after.  I'm sure it boils down to some sort of subconscious desire to show him that I'm as smart as he is (even though that's probably not true overall).  

  • Very.  Especially board games, cards, etc.  I have to be right and win. 

    Not competitive about things like money, looks, etc...I would like for everyone to be happy with what they've got.

  • Yes I'm competitive. But mainly at work, video games, board games, and throwing parties. I always want to have the party that blows people away. And that usually happens. Stick out tongue
