[Andrew Korenchkin]

I guess it's been one of my weak (or strong) traits, but I have never felt the need to be competitive. I don't think I've ever really got much pleasure from winning. Almost everything I do recreationally I tend to avoid the competition aspect. I don't even like playing team basketball.

 

[TheDanimal]

I’m way more competitive than you

 

[Fat4all]

1v1 me in neopets, asswhole, com and have a go if ur think yor hard enough

 

[adj_noun]

I'm the least competitive person here.

 

[AMUSIX]

I'm not competitive, you're the one who's competitive!

 

[AlexMogil]

I'm the least competitive person here.

No, I am.

 

[Gin-Shiio]

I think there's a good balance to be struck. Care too much, and you lose no matter what you do. Don't care at all, and you miss out on a deeper level of satisfaction.

 

[Hopeford]

It depends. In, say, fencing? Yeah. I mean no point going to a tournament if I'm not trying to, if not win, at least improve myself so that one day I can win. It's fun to challenge myself like that.

But for things I care less about I'm perfectly fine losing because hey, I'm just there for fun.

So yeah, competitive for certain things where improving makes me feel good, but for the most part I'm chill and will take a laugh over a win.

 

[Queen Vulpix]

Not in the least, I'm the least competitive person I know. I simply enjoy participation and couldn't care less if I win or lose.

 

[rrc1594]

I can be at times. If I care about something I can be very competitive.

 

[cheermancy]

Way too competitive.

If you're not first you're last.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

No.

 

[OdysseusVA]

I play for keeps

 

[Subpar Scrub]

I’m too competitive for my own good.

 

[Fat4all]

I play for keeps

[TheDanimal]

I play for crepes

I play for creeps

[jabuseika]

[Fat4all]

I play for creeps

I play for peeps

 

[Pau]

I used to be as a child until I realized that no one likes competitive Hispanic immigrant girls. Now I will do anything I can to steer away from anything resembling competition.

 

[Laieon]

No, not at all. I consider it one of my biggest weaknesses to be honest. I'm not even competitive with myself.

 

[sphagnum]

I prefer cooperation.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Im competitive but not to the point where its egotistical.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Nah. Too lazy and apathetic to be competitive. Watched too many people stress themselves out over oneupmanship. I also stopped measuring myself to others when I realized we die all the same so who cares.

 

[Permanently A]

Not entirely sure since I don't play regular sports but from playing card games I've learned I'm a Spike through and through.

 

[lt519]

If I think I can be competitive in something I will be ridiculously competitive. If it's something I know isn't my forte I could care less.

 

[Takyon]

In certain things. i keep it healthy for the most part.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Sort of. At work I’m obsessed with being the best but not against others. More of a personal and probably deep rooted problem. I probably am competitive in things I care about.

 

[TaterTots]

Absolutely and I'm proud of it. It helps me set higher goals.

 

[djplaeskool]

Nope. I naturally shy away from conflict of most types, so I think that also hinders my drive to compete.
Friends have noted that I never get mad or upset about losing at anything. My level of 'chill' is unnatural.
That being said, I do strive at self-improvement, but I don't put personal leaderboarding on the same echelon as actual competition.

One thing I've noticed, and I don't really understand, is that some people get mad at me when my reaction to defeat is a shrug, a smile, and a GG.
Like I denied them the "luxury" of making someone else salty.

The Falcons are my primary outlet for competition and salt, and I tell you what, they've been a veritable Berchtesgaden as of recent.

 

[kirblar]

Yes, but its a toggle for sports/games, not the rest of life.

 

[itwasTuesday]

I handicap myself to give others a fighting chance.

 

[Nepenthe]

Only in video games, really. Otherwise I'm passive-aggressive as fuck.

 

[Fat4all]

I handicap myself to give others a fighting chance.

That’s why I comment on Gaf with both my hands behind my back.

 

[TheDanimal]

I play for peeps

I play for steeps

 

[Voke]

Yes, but only in my head.

I pretend to take losses extremely well on the outside, but on the inside I'm constantly telling myself how I need to be better than everyone at everything and how I will "win" in any sort of matter.

 

[Fat4all]

I play for steeps

I play for sheeps

 

[ieptbarakat]

I have a competitive nature that makes me gloat if I win and self loathing if I lose, so I try my best not to get too involved with what I do anymore for the sake of the people around me and myself.

 

[yongeandcollege]

Yes

 

[umop_3pisdn]

I am, and I think it seems idiosyncratic relative to the rest of my personality.

 

[Verelios]

I love winning but not to the extent where I overexert myself. So no, I'm probably not that competitive.

 

[TheDanimal]

I play for sheeps

I play for cheaps

 

[Fat4all]

I play for cheaps

I play for veeps

 

[Usobuko]

I don't believe in zero sum game but I do think that I always have this pressing survival mentality within me and never really find any closure because I didn't hit my lofty targets.

In a sense, yes, more so within self.

 

[sleverfunk]

Kinda.

 

[TheDanimal]

I play for veeps

I play for reaps

 

[pixelation]

Yes, yes and... HELL YES!

 

[Fat4all]

I play for reaps

I play for heaps

 

[SoldierOfLight]

Heck yeah!

I didn't let me date win in a single game at Dave and Buster's on our 2nd date out.

Disclaimer: she's cool, had it been a different kind of girl I would've lost on purpose.

Sad part is on our Mario kart rematch I lost.

 

[notaskwid]

Not really.
