Suggested Daily Topic
The daily topic for today is:
Is Competitiveness an Obstacle to Making or Keeping Friendships?
In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:
BunnyPuncher Don’t worry your bunnies are “fairly” safe!
Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!
Being competitive can be a big obstacle if you are the type to see EVERYONE as your competition and constantly treat them that way.
Competitiveness being an obstacle to making and keeping friendships is partly based on the maturity levels of the parties involved and also partly based on the clarity of rules of engagement because sometimes no matter how mature people are, the feeling of being cheated could lead us to percieve a person in the wrong manner
Ps I think its nice that you are giving back to the community @bunnypuncher this is the basic concept of the community
Competing with someone can be the thing that causes a friendship to start. We need to interact with someone to get to know them well enough to become friends. The intensity of competing with one another can be the ideal environment for this.
However, competitiveness can ruin an existing friendship, as any competition has a winner and a loser. Who wants to lose? Who wants to seek out the company of the person they lost to? Who wants to celebrate with the person they lost to?
I think it's natural that someone wants to compete with his best friend but compete with honest
Ok👍
Compete it in a healthy not a cunning and if cunning is not compete but nikung
I think it depends. If both parties keep a healthy level of competitiveness (example, in martial arts) that brings both parties up to new levels, it is good. But if one were to have the mindset of win-at-all-costs, that becomes unhealthy and will ruin a friendship.
Friendships like a pouch turn a caterpillar into a butterfly, so even friends then compete fairly and peacefully
Many people who want to compete with the ability such as competing in learning, comedy, sports and even other things,
For me it is reasonable not to damage the reputation of friendship
You want to compete, ok who's afraid, let's compete in males not in females but compete enough in class aja friend, because we are friends forever
If you want to compete with your friends I suggest compete honestly so you do not damage your friendship relationship
No problem, if you want to compete do the best way not the worst friend
Want to compete but do not know who his rival, or mr. @bunnypuncher would not be my rival we are friends😁😁

Well I won lol. I don't think competitiveness is even a requirement to make or keep friendships. There may be people that have that idea and think that it works for theirs. But I always attempt to not be competitive with my friends if it has to be that way. But thats personally just me.
I don't see a significant effect either way.
You just planted 0.01 tree(s)!

No. Competitiveness is good to encourage both parties (friends) to give their best to achieve a success. In worst case, your friend's success can make you happy if you don't succeed.
thanks for sharing.and nice post
I think it is an obstacle to making friendship.
It is an obstacle for shure.
competitiveness can ruin an existing friendship, as any competition has a winner and a loser. Who wants to lose? Who wants to seek out the company of the person they lost to? Who wants to celebrate with the person they lost to?
if your priority is success than anything then being competitive at everything is a must and even at the cost of the friendships along the way. but if you cherish relationships more, then being competitive is not your thing. @bunnypuncher
Competitiveness is a valuable quality, in addition to being necessary to progress in life. But there are people who let it rule their life to the point of wanting to destroy anyone who goes for the same goal, they forget to compete in good faith and resort to any ploy to beat others, in that case if they make it difficult The friendships.
Competitiveness is a hindrance in relationships, for me personally. I suppose it depends on what you're looking for in a friendship. A good one for me is one where I can relax and be myself and be open. Competitiveness is the game the world tries to force us into playing with each other on multiple levels. That is the kind of crap I want to leave behind when I close the door on the world
Being competitive is a big factor in making friends because when one is competitive such people are being labeled as conceited, self absorbed, too picky, full of themselves and not being flexible and sometimes passive aggressive@bunnypuncher
Problem is a test that must be a force, not a weakness that leads you to a downturn.
We can know how worthy we are to succeed from how well we rise after falling.
I think it is not a hindrance. What i think is a hindrance is not being great at socialising - shyness and general awkwardness, not knowing what to say can be major roadblocks to developing friendships, but there are also illnesses that would make it difficult
make the competition a boost for you both to be a better person, both in the field of education, work and maturity between individual individuals. Competition can also strengthen friendship and become a lesson to become a better friend again.
First off, a true friend is very hard to find. My parents often told me that if someone can find one true friend, they are blessed.
I've been blessed to find one. The way I differentiate a friend from a "true" friend is through how I put his best interests above mine at all times, and vice versa.
not necessarily
Soo when my chance will come @bunnypuncher @banjo
New day.. The fourth.. After the fall of the moon...
This is my entry to this contest @bunnypuncher.
Lets go @bunnypuncher
Not for me, but I notice that sometimes there is great rivalry with other people and we go from friends to enemies, but it is because of their way of thinking
Depends on personality, but friendly competitiveness can be helpful in keeping friends' skills sharp
hi i am isuru your giveaway is great i hope that i can too thank you mr.@bunnypuncher
lets punch that bunny !! in the mood to punch bunnies ... Competivity is never destroying in a good friendship. Finding out who is the best at that moment or always, is making any friendship relation more deep, because you can love anyone for who they are and what they can do. I do expect the same of my friends. :-) we all have our own qualities.
Pick mee upp this time
Great question.
Congrats to the winners. Sometimes our inability to share in others' joy is simply due to jealousy, pure and simple, or indignation at the injustice of chance and circumstance.
No, competitiveness shouldn't be a criteria for making or keeping friends. If you like a person as a friend, then you are in a way obliged to make such a better person.
Some people are simply very competitive. Others are not.
My Gymn instructor tells me that her family compete over everything all the time, even washing the dinner dishes!
I'm not competitive that way at all, so for me I have no energy to engage in pushing to win all the time.
For me, competitiveness is not an obstacle making friendship.
It depends on the gender involve, if its two female involved competitiveness is an obstacle in keeping that friendship. While in the Male counterpart, it is a room to think outside the box and improve one self.
No i dont think its an obstacle. I am one of those who love competing. Competition gives me a high. Competition keeps me focused on achieving the desired result. Competition motivates me and inspires me.
Naturally, I end up seeking competition everywhere. Most of my closest friends are also my fiercest competitors. In fact in most cases, our friendships kindled because we were equally competent and competitors for each other.
Congratulations All winner
And good job
Friendship have no competitiveness to me. Sometime in working area friends can compromise or walk together in a same way.
No it's not...
I think not.
I am competitive naturally.
First off, a true friend is very hard to find. My parents often told me that if someone can find one true friend, they are blessed.
I've been blessed to find one. The way I differentiate a friend from a "true" friend is through how I put his best interests above mine at all times, and vice versa.
Depends on the individual involved. Competition at times can lead to a form of jealousy or obsessiveness especially when you are on the losing side.
So @bunnypuncher, yes it can be an obstacle o keeping or making friends.
Still hoping to win
I think it is not a hindrance. What i think is a hindrance is not being great at socialising - shyness and general awkwardness, not knowing what to say can be major roadblocks to developing friendships, but there are also illnesses that would make it difficult (mental and physical)
