Are you as competitive as I am?  

I can be at times too. Your post reminded me of Monica from Friends. She was super competitive too. It can be funny sometimes. Don't let it get the best of you.

I used to be extremely competitive. I would push myself in the military to be the best. I was the best in basic training walking out with more ribbons than anyone else in my graduating class. I walked out of tech training with the highest honors.
I always strived to be the best. Even my partner and I still argue about who got the better testing score on the entry for the military! LOL
But I have been able to let go some...for my kids sake.
I don't mind playing games with them and they win. Heck, I often even let them win!
But when my partner is involved and he laughs, forget it! I am completely competitive with him! I refuse to play any video game with him because he always wins and laughs when I point out that is why I don't like playing. He will argue with me that it is just a game. And I will argue that nobody likes to loose all the time.
So, I don't play video games. LOL
I do things that he is no good at. LOL Then, there is no competition because he will not even try. ha ha
But yes, I am VERY competitive! But I find ways to try to avoid it.

I'm not ultra competitive but my daughter is. I worry about her. Everything is a competition to her. When she was little playing games wither her was unbearable if she started losing. During one period in her life she would change the rules of the game so that she would always win or make up games with her own rules so that she would always win. I think this is a sign of an insecurity issue - like the cometitive person feels they are not 'as good' as the other person if they lose. But, What do I know, I'm not a psychologist.

yes I am pretty competitive about everything I used to be a competitive swimmer but when my youngest daughter started swimming well I taught her to swim but one day she was in a race with her school, and when she beat my times that I used to do I hardly ever went swimming again due to her times they were fantastic but I felt so bad that I no longer could compete against her,.

I would not say that I am untra-competitive, there are certian things that I am really competitive in but they are limited to actually sporting events. I don't really get competitive over little things, I don't try to turn everything in to a competition.

Oh yeah, screw your friends... You lose more weight than them and rub it in their face! Gee, I guess I am kinda competitive too.

me! ok. i'm not sure if it's anything to be proud of but yes i'm probably just as competitive as you are - whether it is to look better or do something better. trust me. it's nothing ridiculous at all. after all, it's competition that allows progress. without competition, most scientist would probably be taking their own sweet time inventing stuff and we probably wouldn't have the existence of computers and the internet (and hence no myLot :P) yet. as long as it does not damage your interpersonal relationships, thrive on your competitive nature and bring out the best in you! :)

I am also extremely competitive. I often wont even bother trying if i dont feel i can win which is a horrible way to me but i guess thats the way it is. Whilst growing up i remember having a very fierce sense of competition with my dad and he wasnt the type of man to 'play nice' so i had a chance. He would try and cripple me if he could lol. It did mean however that when i did finally come round to beat him at things, mainly sports it was so much more satisfying because i knew that he had put his all into it!!

I am very competitive in everything I do . But I don't get mad I just do it for fun . My sister and I are both like this . Even on here we both compete to put up more posts then each other a day and to get a better star then each other . Hahah so far I am winning .

no i m not..

I'm not so competitive but I like too but anyway I don't want to compete because I want to take my pace slowly like the turtle and the rabbit story.
