Life itself is a competition. No matter how unwilling you are, people will still want to compete with you.
I remember that classmates used to compete on results during school days. I am smarter, you are not. Teacher likes me better, she don't like you.
Yada yada yada.
Then comes to working life, who is getting a higher position, higher salary, better incentives.
Believe me, people can compare on very personal things as well. "I have to save at least one grand per month, and I'm oh-so-broke already! By the way, how much do you save huh?'"
Congrats that you can save so much but I'm not interested to know, so don't you bother about mine too.
And now I have people comparing on bling size?! "Oh I want a bling much bigger, better clarity than yours!"
Watever.
Isn't it tiring to compete with others everyday? Contentment is bliss, give yourself a break.
