Do you ever feel competitiveness with friend (s) or sibling (s) in your childhood and young adulthood?

Question

In other words; when you saw your friend [relatives/anyone] or sibling doing something better you felt jealous and you wanted to over stage them and sometimes you succeeded and sometimes you failed.

Do you felt that way in your childhood and young adulthood? Explain.

And how do you see these experiences that make you a better person?

Answer 1

Aw the inferiority complex. very common, if you aren't better than someone at everything than you are somehow worse or inferior that person. I feel that way a lot, which is why I am very self conscious. These experiences provide me a way to see that I don't have to be better than everyone at everything that I can just be myself (really corny).

Answer 2

Yes. I'm competiting with my classmate in terms of good results. That classmate of mine, wow, I can tell you, she's like so jealous of me having good results. I'll continue to work hard and beat her. But sadly this time she beat me in Maths. But nevermind. I can take failures optimistically. I  would never- say - die !! That classmate of mine is a sicko too.

Answer 3

My sister and I never were competitive- but my brother and I were allllllways competitive, and still are (he's 23, I'm 22) Once I realized he was better at somethings and I had no chance, then I did something better that he had no chance in beating me in. We're competitive with our education, athletics, useless knowledge, etc. But when you get older it's more fun. When you're young it can tear at you a bit

Answer 4

Yes my younger sister is taller than I am, better looking and also smarter. It really hurt me in school.
