Competition is ok when you are healthy.
I have no desire to compete in my present state of mind however.

I feel like if I’m not looking around to see where everybody is at, kind of,
I don’t know how to fit in
If I don’t fit in
Then I feel I will be left out.
Not fit in like a sheep
But just fit in

It is a competition where we are all winners I like to believe. I don’t want to see anyone as a loser.

I don’t believe in competition for me.
It’s against my beliefs.

Competition can bring out the very best in people. Unfortunately, it could bring out the very worst in people. As an example, iIn martial arts, competition is overseen by the Master, so it is done skillfully and doesn’t turn ugly. At least if you have a good teacher
But unchecked and undisciplined competition, probably going to turn ugly

Competition is a natural part of the Universe. Life competes, governments compete, corporations compete. Those that don’t or can’t eventually die off. I don’t think there is an alternative.

Competition can push people to their best or bring out the worst it is polarizing

I think it should be doneto benefit people. Cooperation is perhaps more valuable though throughout the human race. Competition means more in animals, but even they are known for amazing cooperation. And, competition is used alot just for entertainment, but it also is used for cooperation.

I have zero interest in competition. Some people satisfy themselves by competing, but I kind of dropped out of that mentality since when I was younger. I rely on self satisfaction like keeping a diary everyday, and feeling that I’m advancing in my life everyday. I do stuff like watch a movie or read a book and keep track of them. Competing has no limit, I have no notion of competition, and I stay away from anything or anyone that involves competition. Luckily, people around me don’t demand me to compete, including my parents.

Thats good that some get bby without competing. I think some find it an addiction with the highs and lows. It can make you ill too and lead to gambling or other addiction.

I still play an amatuer sport and competition can be good. Keeps you on your toes and sometimes it’s nice to compete with so called normals on an even footing.

I played athletics when I was young, but other than walking it became a bit impractical for me.

Competition is a base behaviour in nature, nature is not kind, in fact in biology of our planet competition is the base of natural life.
In adults it’s ok I guess, just don’t go ruining your or anyone else’s life over it. Depends how desperate you are I guess

Creatures will do alot to survive, but I think they also are born with certain ethics. Then they are led astray by flounders.

Healthy competition is good for you.
Competing to simply one-up someone else for your own gratification is not the way you should be going about your business.

I’ve had to compete to get jobs, to keep jobs, and to move up in jobs. I do it because it’s necessary for survival. I have no interest in competing in sports or watching others compete in sports. I don’t know if there are alternatives – not competing would involve a level of altruism 99.9% of humans are incapable of.

The alternative to competition is doing your best but not trying to win. You dont have to be an altruist you can be an individualist and disregard other people and their games playing entirely.
