[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding the thread about female friendships being plagued by competitiveness, my question is, how can one tell if someone is the competitive type? What kinds of actions or comments would indicate that? [/quote]

I have a friend who is competitive. The way I’ve been able to see it, is more in what she does than what she says. Someone who appears to be outdoing you.
Whenever I feel like a friend is competing it just pushes me away. [/quote]

Same. My sister competed with me constantly growing up and it really soured me on that kind of conflict in relationships. It’s just the opposite of connection.

Also, many of the competitive people of encountered do a strange thing where they will compete even when it comes to negative stuff. Like if you had a rough week, there’s was rougher. Or if you have a sick relative, they have a sicker relative. It’s very disconcerting because why would you want to be the person with the sickest relative or the biggest problem? Such an odd impulse. I do think it’s about insecurity and the need for attention. [/quote]
