Intenal Competition.
I think when we compete with others,we also compete with our internal competition. While I am aware of its negative outcome, it's just something I choose to be doing atm because my life is waay too zen haha. I read this the other day an article from @killerwot and I think it relates to some degree of what I felt

I think social media really taps into every aspect of psychology. I mean, competition has its own place in psychology too and they integrate it so subtly that somehow, we feel compelled to compete and compare ourselves. So, when a place that doesn't have those exist, I personally think it's too sour. Maybe a little rank thrown around would make it a lot more exciting.
Thanks for checking out!
You are exactly correct.
