Why does everyone think I'm competing with them?

Question

I'm a pretty laid back guy. I try to keep to myself. The only time I talk to people is when they come interupt me so I have no idea how they get this.

Answer 1

I'd need for info about you and about why you think people think this way. Please add details.

Answer 2

Maybe you don't see yourself as others see you. Why not ask them how they view you? We often get better insights into ourselves when others let us know how we come across.

Answer 3

How do you know they feel you are competing with them????  Are you still in school???  Maybe your grades--if they are very good grades????

Answer 4

Well gee, that's an in depth peice of wording for me to work with.

Depends on the people you think are thinking that you're competing with them.

Maybe they're just the kind of people who think everyone's an enemy unless one person is in a stronger position than another - in which case, your laid back style would probably be confusing them.
