One of my girl friends once had a friend who competed against her. If she bought a new dress or pair of shoes ; so would her friend. If they were out together , and a young men showed interest in my friend; her friend would get jealous.It got to the point that my friend had to stop being around this person for awhile after she noticed what was going on. Eventually the girl moved out of town. Now they hardly speak anymore because of the long distance phone bill. But I had told my friend that this girl must not have been her friend anyway; because friends don't do that. Personally , I've never had this happen to me because my friends are on a different level and we don't think about competing with each other. Nor are we jealous of each other. I know there is someone out there who has gone through this; share your thoughts.

yes.... often times friends compete each other. somehow they do such to enhance themselves but there are times that they seem to hurt each other.

I wouldn't want my friend competing against me.And I especially wouldn't want to find out that they are doing so.I don't feel like a friendship is about that.It does hurt in the end then neither of the two people are talking to each other. Thank you for your response.I do agree with you.

I think the person who has to compete like this is somewhat insecure. I had an associate like that once and I don't think she was really that happy down inside even though she put on a front in front of everyone else. I think she needed the attention and that was the only way she knew to get it.

I agree with you Kykidd. A person must be pretty insecure of their self if they have to copy something that someone else has or does. In a sense; they are not being their own person and finding the better them in their selves.That must be a very sad and lonely life to not be able to find yourself.
