What Are You Competitive At?

I’m just wondering what other people on this forum are competitive at? For myself, I’ve never been a competitive person personally. The major reason why is because I’ve been and objective failure at everything I’ve tried. I don’t want to sound like a negative Nelly, but I was in the bottom of my class in academics, even though I really tried. I was the least athletic person in the grade, though I didn’t even come close to weighing the most; every sport I tried I was abysmal. Creativity wise, I was lacking way behind after my onset and even before it. I don’t see much things that are competitive in me, but nevertheless, I want to see what other people are good at, particularly someone with our shared illness. I guess it could get give me an idea at what I am already good at, or simply, what I want to be good at?

That’s really great to hear. I suppose I’m competitive when it comes to working hard at my job or mission, but I’m only competitive to my self doubt.

There is nothing wrong with pushing yourself to the next level.

I think the times im competitive is if im on a team, or if i decide I want to practice being competitive.

I think i have a higher tendency to look for exploits if its competition related.

I’m not competitive at anything really, but I have become a much more asserted and confident person over the last 7 years or so.

I did a funny exploit with strava app. Its a competitive cycling app that records how fast you ride sections or trails.

I just edited gpx files and made the speeds incrementally faster to avoid detection and before you know it the weekend warrior cyclist was hitting top 5 :rofl:

Video games. I realized I was average or below average in math once at university. I wasn’t born smart and picked up math too late. Now I’m sick and can’t do ■■■■.

Yeah, I’m on a mission for my church where thats all I do in my community and surrounding area. I have purpose, I don’t think that’s the issue; the issue is lacking skill. Again, I realize skill is obtained, but usually there’s some inclination towards that skill. I’m trying to find what it is currently.

I feel like I have brain damage and the meds slow me down to the point I am slower at thinking and hand eye coordination in video games. I used to be really good at mohaa, call of duty, and battlefield. I sucked at strategy games and even WoW because I’m not that social in that game at all.

I was decent at riding a bike but couldn’t do tricks and sucked at the skate park growing up. I couldn’t ride a surfboard or snowboard or ski or skate or skateboard really. I didn’t practice enough. My dad kept my isolated growing up to the point I was emotionally and especially socially stunted in growth compared to my peers.

I never played foot ball and sucked at baseball and basketball and wrestling, but was told I was good at soccer. I never did competitions or anything. It was all bs. Like parents think they’re kids are geniuses or excel at sports when they’re really just average. I view myself as a tiger uncle and am a realist.

I mainly struggled in probability and got a P and wanted to take Stochastic Calculus but then dropped out. Same thing with abstract algebra. I had to pay a private tutor lol.

There were no tutoring services for upper division and it was sink or swim. Furthermore, my grades sucked so I couldn’t be a tutor at the tutoring center. I realized I was dumb back then. That was early on too before my bad trip and schizophrenia. It all seems made up or make believe now because I have no relations or visual memory of school anymore. It’s just like rote recall or information. No emotional connection at all.

I probably got Asperger’s traits, but even though I got diagnosed once, they discounted the diagnosis, and said I got schizophrenia.

I never did any math competitions growing up. I was always between the cracks or falling behind growing up where I failed and almost got held back a lot. I blame my parents, really.
