    "Relax, it's not a competition." FALSE. Everything is a competition.

    1. As a competitive person, you know that NOTHING is off limits when it comes to competing.

    2. Inanimate objects? COMPETITION.

    3. And mundane errands like grocery shopping have taken on a life of their own.

    4. You certainly don't mess around at the gym.

    5. You've braved the wilds of ~internet commenting~ to prove that you're better than everyone else.

    6. Just because your favorite competition isn't common doesn't mean you don't totally own it.

    7. Even though it might not be the safest, you've gone over the speed limit just to prove the GPS wrong.

    8. Let's be real, you've been known to put aside safety in tons of situations to make sure you are the best/fastest/strongest.

    9. You're always looking to one-up your friends.

    11. So you make sure to get in a subtle jab at your competition whenever possible.

    12. Though sometimes you just drop the subtlety altogether.

    13. You've got a patented "crazy face" for when things start to get serious.

    14. And people sometimes misinterpret your cockiness for meanness.

    15. But you don't mind what people think, because above all else, failure is not an option.

    16. You're not above...expressing...your emotions when things aren't going your way.

    17. Losing at a board game? Better destroy the table.

    18. On occasion, you've taken your threats a little too far.

    19. If you think you might lose, you're not above a little sabotage.

    20. And you consider the rules to be...malleable...when you need them to be.

    21. Because even though you might seem out of control to other people...

    22. You know that there's no feeling like winning.
