As far as I can remember, whenever I did anything I always felt like I had to be the best. It didn't matter what it was, it could be a race, video game, or wrestling with my brother. I remember one time in 5th grade, the whole class had to read a passage from a book and the last sentence was "and I yelled 'help!'". Everyone in the class would whisper "help!" and I thought to myself, I can read that part better. Then when it was my turn. I yelled it at the top of my lungs and everyone in the room jumped, including my teacher. Everyone just had a laugh about it afterward. I never came to the realization of how competitive I could be until recently.
There is a Youtube competition being promoted by Youtubers Rhettandlink called "Supernote" where people try to hold a note as long as possible for their team. I am in team Shaytard Rebellionites. The top place was 84 seconds. And I wanted to beat it, so I hyperventilated over and over again, and each time I would do better and better. Finally I was able to get up to 94.7 seconds getting me first place. I would have kept trying to do better also if it weren't for the fact that I felt like I was going to pass out. (can be seen down below)
I like my competitive nature, it always pushes me to be the best that I can be. I just need to focus it on less trivial matters, and use it to accomplish my goals.
