Are you competitive?

I have met a lot of people in this lifetime that think that being competitive is wrong...I do not..if I am going to do something that has a competitive nature about it, I am going to do my best and try to win..that is the way that I have always been...if I lose, I am not a poor sport, I will just want to do it again till I win. Mind you, I am not competitive about everything..it does not control my life, which I have seen it do to some...Remember that seinfeld episode with the old men lifting the tv's. Hilarious..I am not like them..but I do believe that 2nd place is the first loser. LOL:jointsmile:

I'm definitely competitive. I'm competitive when it comes to games and sports. I was very competitive when I was younger and participated in athletics of all sorts. I'm also very competitive with grades. I'm even competitive with myself. Always trying to beat arbitrary records I set for myself, whether it's my endurance time on the treadmill at the gym or how quickly and efficiently I can clean the living room.

I'm far less competitive about material stuff like cars or houses or clothes or money. That stuff doesn't matter, although I know an awful lot of people who believe it does.

Competition is not wrong. I think a certain degree of it is healthy. I can also lose graciously, too.

There's nothing healthy or unhealthy about it. It is merely a lifestyle. I am not competitive.

depends on what it is... but for the most part, yes.

I am very competitive in life in general i know what i want and im going for it. Sports the same. With people No... i dont compare myself to others. i just try to do my own thing and im trying to make it to the top.. get me? lol

Depends on what it is I'm doing. In general am pretty competitive...but sometimes i just get pissed off, specially if the person who beats me starts rubbing it in and talking shit, then i just get stressed out

Definitely, i like to compete in sports, and video games ofcourse, or even when i drive..

I'm competitive when it comes to sports or anything physical. I still have scars on my legs from high school lacrosse... I was wayy to intense about it! I go to the gym for two hours every day, and I always find myself looking at the people on the machines around me, seeing how long they'd been on and how high their resistance was set... Every time someone gets off a machine after being on for a shorter time than me, I have this little smug inner "haha I win" feeling going on....

But yeah, other than physically, I'm not competitive at all. I honestly don't care if someone has more money, or gets a better grade on a term paper, or anything like that. In situations like that, I tend to challenge myself, screw competing with other people.

LOL I will give you a story of how competetive I am. One time when I was in high school I was trying to beat the swim team captain who was a senior at the time. I was a freshman, and we were having this competetion in the pool on how far you could swim underwater while holding your breath. Well he had gone the farthest which was about 2 and a half lengths of 25 yard standard natatorium pool. Well when I went I wanted to beat him so bad that I went 3 frieking lengths underwater but I had pushed myself too hard and passed out and came floating up to water motionless. Everyone on the team pulled me out of the water and I regained conciousness like 2 minutes later.. and then they said hey you won ! LOL

i am not competitive at all, really =/ at least not to a 'serious' degree. life's not a race! for me anyway=p i was this way loooong before marijuana.
