Many times!  My competitive spirit has taken me into almost near death situations.  Thank God I have had my extremely sensible and quick thinking husband there to stop me otherwise I would have died before I reached the age of 30!

Answer 3

Fought for someone i didn't really want!!

Answer 4

no, I try to idgnore my competative side and realise that nothing will ever be good enough, I will always see there is some way I have not come out on top, I have to try hard to recognise the competative feeling and deal with it each time before it gets out of hand.

Answer 5

Well, the only time I regret it was when I was playing Euchre, a card game, with my husband and two of our friends at a party. It was when we first met, and I had a perfect hand, it happens just a few times in a players life. I was winning a lone hand, and he somehow got pulled the Jack out of a discard pile, and trumped me with my own card while cheating. Ruined my hand. I was so ticked I reached across and slapped him on the face, hard enough to make a noise and everyone in the room stopped talking and just stared at me. My (now) husband just thought it was hilarious,because we are equally competitive at games and stuff, and he had never seen me hit anyone. In fact, its the only time I have struck another person. I felt terrible afterward. It was just a game of cards, and he is the person I love most in the world, but the game got me.

Also, there are only two people who know me who will play Monopoly with me....my college roommate, and my 10 year old nephew. I have only lost about 4 games in my life, and those are the two people I have lost to. Everyone else says I go for blood in that game. I am sometimes a worse winner than loser though.

In real life, I am not like that. I love to do well, but never at the expense of others.

Often my competitive side comes out way to much in things that dont count for anything such as a family game of something i just have to win and so if we are playing in teams knowone wants to be one my side lol its ironic in that way i suspose
