Competitive people forget that there more to life than "winning". In fact, they're usually jerks. However, if you're a loser you'll probably end up dying poor and lonely.

it is a good thing!
being competitive makes you want to superate yourself!!!!!!!I consider myself as competitive and I've got most of my achievements for my competitiveness. it's just about trying to be better and reaching your goals! I'm competitive and it feels SO well.!

Are you Kidding
I'm probably the most competitive person I know. I can't help it, that's the way I was raised. I don't do it to be mean to other people, I just think if i work hard, something will eventually come out of it. Competitiveness is a good thing.

i am really competetitive not saying that this is good tho. But i ccant help it its natural.
--Posted by angelzinhell




It kind of depends
It is ok to be a little competitive once and a while it is called friendly competition. If we didn't have some competitiveness then everything would be boring. Like when I play in my hockey and field hockey games I get competitive. As long as you don't get out of control your fine so I don't see the problem.

ITS OK
Being competitive is a good thing to a point. If you are too competitive people wont like you and will want to stay away from you. Its also not good to be a sore loser!

Its a good feeling, sometimes that is...
I'm a competative person. I think its great, I'm not the person that go's over board if I lose. Just try again til ya beat em. And I admit winning is the best feeling, sometimes- it just depends on what you win at. ha

Helps you get somewhere in life!
I'll admit sometimes my perfectionism makes me feel like a hamster in a wheel that's going too fast, but I'm well aware that if I didn't strive to be as good as I can be in several aspects of my life, success will just pass me by. And I feel good when I've accomplished something I've worked really hard for. I can't stand slackers who just think that the world will be handed to them on a platter. I would love to see them actually WORK for once. And yes, I have a life...it just happens to revolve around school and activities (which the vast majority of my friends are in anyway)

It's fun
It's fun to be competitive. I'm not an athlete, but I play three instruments, and I'm in Model UN at school and next year we're starting a Quiz Bowl team. It's fun to try hard at a solo competition or a Quiz Bowl meet, and really exciting if you do well! You shouldn't get too attached to the prize though, it should be about the process that goes into it. And, take it from someone who is awful at sports- with sports or any sort of competitive activity, don't get so competitive that you discourage and put down the people who are struggling. That's just mean. For some people it's not a competition, it's about learning. Don't ruin their experience.

I am competetive
I am sooo competative. I cannot handle not being great at everything. I can not handle taking the easy way out. i always hav to take this bigger weights, run the fastest, do more excercises, finish first. There was this one unrequired mile swim for sea scouts. i didn't hav to swim it, but i made myself. i could not stop. i hav to much pride. Then i felt horrible about myself after cus i finished last. I think about it now though, i did great just finishing, but i am too competetive...

competition sucks!
I hate being competitive, especially if it means against my older sis. She's more favoured by my parents compared to me, cos she's the firstborn and stuff. Throughout our childhood, i fought for my parents attention, to make them love me more than her, but it never worked. I remember getting involved with so many school activities and won prizes, so that they will notice me, but they only last for a day or two. Finally i got tired of trying, and mixed with the wrong crowd. Only when i started to rebel, that they started taking notice of me more. These days, i comfort myself with the fact that i'm much more happy than her, cos i have a wonderful fiance, and she hasnt even started dating yet. We're getting married next year, and buying a home of our home, while she's still stuck with my parents.

I'm veryyy competitive, and I don't like being last, I always have to be the best, otherwise I complain a lot I hate it, and no i'm not a bitch it's just the way my family is and I ahppened to have followed in their footsteps with being competitive.
--Posted by jewlz2289




Ooh, that's 'ard!
I don't like competitions, however, I always get stuck in one. --boo hoo.

Time consuming.
I used to be a real competitive person, when I played volleyball and just in general. I liked to be best in the areas where I was strong in. But after a while, I realized it was just too time consuming. Who am I really trying to impress and what am I trying to improve? It just goes back and forth.
--Posted by r0r0ballababy





i do not push myself to be the best!!!!!!!!!!!
well i hate that people all ways try best at every thing i mean i try my best but i don't over work it. Like my mom said " there will always be someone better at the thing you are working at" . and plus my friend and i kept getting in fights trying to be the "best"
--Posted by me_4ever34



i guess...
being competitive is what i'm all about, but sometimes i get so caught up in it. I've spent my whole life trying to be perfect, and i've let it take over me. so in many ways, i absolutely despise it!!!!!!
--Posted by gatrgrl518



Not Competative...
I would rather just play for fun & not care about who wins & who loses. In my experience, when people become really competative, the game or whatever you were doing loses some fun. There are too many sore losers & not enough humble winners. Just play for fun & do your best.

i hate competiveness
people who do that r just plain mean. besides, it is not like that stuff, like sports, matter. i am a talented person in many areas, and i dont need to prove it to any one to feel good about myself.
--Posted by littlefairyav




ehhh, depends...
If you are a competitive person, then fine, but keep your ego intact. If you are mean to the other person who lost and keep on going on about it all the time how yea won, then thats not right. Its great you wanna win, but dont get all rude about it.
