Battle for Ranking: Why do I hate Competition?

We can't change the fact that Competition happens all the time. Surviving who is the best is the one that must be seen, who will be the head and the last—competing for everything, power, love, and money. People loved competitions, which was why I wouldn't say I liked it.

I grew up as a child that hates competitions, maybe because I know so far that I am always behind others. That is why I became anxious when they said we need to compete for the grades ranking, so who will be the first honor and the last? But the disadvantage happens all the time.

This idea or topic had been in my head for quite a long time; my barber told me things when I do my grooming haircut. I have known him personally from a very young age until now, and I am more comfortable taking my hair cut with his scissors. I am still doubtful, on the other hand, and if they met my haircuts expectations, I don't want other barbers to do the job. Also, it was my help for his daughter was my old friend.

He did talk about what happened between his daughter and best friend, and he said when they saw each other, what happened six years ago still had not yet changed between the two. They were still not looking in the face.

What happened last year is still fresh in my mind, just one point the school salutatorian defeated. Just one particular from a ranking. It comes that there were issues and gossip in everything.

I knew the Salutatorian was competitive, yet she was pleasant, though she would focus on everything as a leader. She could manage to do her jobs.

Back to the presents, six years had passed, and we all graduated from college yet still like something.

That's one of the disadvantages of competitions, or should I say too much Competition.

Too much competition is toxic.

When people are too much looking for victory and what happened they don't, things become chaotic indeed. When they don't meet their expectations, they blame something on someone or themselves alone. This is one of the toxic cultures that happened at my age where parents are the ones who will show and teach their young to become more competitive in terms of academics and extracurricular.

I remember I felt jealous when I saw other classmates could be supported by their parents in the activities, especially in highlighting things such as best dresses or any decorates where they could spend more money just for the names and titles. Also, I witnessed that parents again is the one that becomes unhappy when their child gets doomed.

Toxic mentally when the child gets this kind of attitude toward their parents alone.

Competitive in a good way.

I don't want to be heard bias. There was a good side to being competitive. I also found myself on this side, where you must fight in the way of survival.

Becoming competitive in your career is a sad thing but also a must. You must show your talent and skill, impress the boss for your sake, and don't mind the people talking behind your back, for, in the end, they won't help you create your future.

Becomes competitive in your activities, such as the way people will look at you as the best figure you have.

Compete with life, struggle, and downfall.

Battle for Ranking: Why do I hate Competition?

Because sometimes, people forget the word "sportsmanship," where friendship lasted because of competing in a certain way, where people can't accept the defeats. What was a victory if there was no defeat at all?

Competition divides us and creates a barrier between the people and us; that's one of the tragedies of too much focus on competitors. People forget about their selves, for they want their victory.

Are you competitive? I don't say it's terrible to become competitive. That's the nature of human beings, but it's a way of hurting yourself and others at the end of competitors. I think it's not a good practice at all. 

Compete when you think you can accept winning and losing. There was no 100% victory in all competitions unless you cheated. Lol.
