    Are you a competitive person? Do you feel the urge to beat someone in a certain way whether it's in athletics, online, etc? Who do you feel the most competitive with? Do you think competitiveness builds bonds or breaks them? Any other thoughts on competitive people?

    Usually when I'm competitive, it's one-sided and over really stupid things. "I'm the first one at the table at lunch every day" and other stuff like that. I also get really competitive when playing games, but less so than when I was little.

    I'm very competitive and also stubborn, a rather.....fitting combination, but to my family its annoying because I absolutely will NOT accept defeat, never ever! I doesn't matter what it is, I won't stop until I win.

    I tend to be very competitive, especially when it comes to music. Because I don't actually have any real members of my section, I am overly competitive with a lot different people. Because of this, I feel myself being the most competitive with my brother or the first alto saxophone player because... we both play saxophone.

    I feel like it helps us bond tho, it's a good learning experience.

    I'm pretty competitive, but only about physical activities. Its bad for me though, due to the fact that I stop breathing if I push myself too hard. Needless to say, I ended up scaring my teammates a lot with me almost dying. :sweat:

    The only video games I am competitive in are Pokémon and smash, really. And even then its not that much.

    I am one of the most competitive people you'll ever meet xD I always want to be better than others no matter what it is. I can't help it, I always have the urge to win everything.

    I'm kinda competitive; most of the time I don't really care if I win or lose, but if the stakes get high enough for me on a personal level, you can bet I'm gonna go all out.

    I am very competitive, but only in my own interests. If it's something I take little to no interest in (like a certain sport), then I really wouldn't care if I lost against that person, especially i they're much more experienced in that field than I am.
    Personally, I'm most competitive with close friends or that one guy who thinks he can 1-up me (a "rival", if you will). I will use every ounce of my fighting competitive strength to emerge victorious! Competition is healthy, and on so many levels. There are the bitter aspects of it, such as a particular person getting upset and making a scene if they lose, but someone whom is mature and mellow, makes the best person to compete with. It's still alright to get intense in competition, just have it be a positive energy flowing!

    I'm very competitive when it comes to playing chess (or any board game, just chess in particular) and showing my knowledge. I seem to relish in knowing things people don't, sharing information, ect. As a result, I'm also very competitive when it comes to quizzes and tests. I personally feel like being competitive can help build bonds. The whole "I'm not holding back cause I wanna win this damn thing!", if used positively, can help you fuel yourself to get better and better, and then share what you've learned with the person you're competitive with, strengthening your bond. I do this with a lot of my friends (particularly those I play chess with), and in fact, being competitive has even GAINED me friends who see things like this in a similar way. It's really cool to have friends like this under a competitive atmosphere and I feel like it should be encouraged to a certain extent.

    Yeah I guess I am. Only about stupid things though, nothing in real life. Most of the time I try not to care too much, haha.

    I am not competitive at all. I'm the "I don't attack you, so you don't have to attack me"-kind of person. You can challenge me all you like, but I probably won't accept it. also, I hate losing and I don't want to make people cry

    I am very competitive. Mainly in academics and video games. Heck, I'm even competitive when it comes to who turns in their test first. Lately, my competitiveness has been paying off, as I'm becoming a very nice student as a result. I'm definitely no athlete, but I'll try my best when it comes to sports. Except in basketball. I couldn't dribble if my life were on the line.

    I try not to be. I really do, but sometimes I can't help it. It's extremely rare that someone can really break open my competitive nature, and only two things manage to do it with regularity: Dodgeball and people who say that can beat me in Smash Bros. "Easily." I may not be the best, but I'll be damned if I don't give them a run for their money that they will never forget. That's assuming they manage to beat me, as I am very good. I say that as a fact and statistic, not to brag. I have pride in my abilities in Smash because I've spent literally thousands of hours training in that game to be able to play on a professionally competitive level. I'm fine with losing; in fact, I relish the opportunity to learn from someone better than me. When someone new waltzes up and arrogantly proclaims to be the best, my blood boils. I actually have to step away and calm down, because I play Smash best when calmed down. I also can't have people watching when I'm 1v1 against someone, because for some reason that makes my competitive nature leak out again.

    Dodgeball is just epic and totally worth being irrationally competitive over in every circumstance. I'm also really darn good at that, too. I broke a metal frame with a foam ball from 30 feet away, once. I think my arm strength and throw speed testify to my abilities to crush faces with a ball.

    I have to say, I am a very competitive person when it comes to competitions, and sports. I try my hardest, and that's really all there is to it~
    Good sportsmanship is another thing. I'm usually the type to try to deny it at first, and then smile, and shake hands saying "Good Game."
