[quote=Anonymous]OP, I wonder if you may just be more observant and sensitive to this stuff than other people are. I know what you are talking about, but I think a lot of it just slips past most people. Like I have a couple friends who I feel like are always competing with each other over things like whose house is nicer or how their kids are doing in school, and their comments to each other really bother me. They will also bring each other up with me individually, and there is always an edge to it. I really hate it and it stresses me out, but they don't seem to care. One of them even told me that she likes having a "rival" because it keeps her on her toes.

But I can't stand it and have basically stopped spending time with either of them because I'm just sensitive to conflict. It is sad because the three of us were pretty tight when we were younger and they are two of my oldest friends. But I've discovered that we approach life differently, and now I focus more on other relationships that don't have this competitive dynamic.

Maybe you are like me, OP, and you just need to find people who operate on your frequency.[/quote]
