Is it normal to feel competition between feiends?

90% Normal
5 Comments

My best friend and I are both dancers, we're both strong dancers, we're both the top in the studio snd the only graduating seniors. We've been best friends for a few years now, and we've really watched eachother grow over the years. Lately, I feel like I have to do everything better than her. To make it worse we have solos in the same catigory, a duet, a trio, and 10 group dances together, I feel like I have to outshine her. Is that normal?

Is It Normal?

    Healthy competition is fine, but don't let it ruin your friendship. It's not worth it just to always be the best.

    Of course it's normal. I compete with my friends for a lot of things. As long as you don't let it ruin your friendship.

    Yeah, its normal, as long as you dont put that need to be the best ahead of your friendship. If you can still be happy with her achievements and wish that she does well (even with you doing better), you can call yourself a good friend.
