Rivalry?

A good natured rivalry is fine! It actually helps people improve themselves in certain aspects of their life, depending on what the rivalry is about 
But if it's a toxic rivalry and brings about more negativity than anything else, it isn't good. So it goes both ways really. As for me, I don't have a rival.

I think it's a good thing. It helps drive a person towards a goal.
Unfortunately I had a couple "rivals" while I was in university. I was close friends with both but they tended to show their envy when I was successful. I found it quite bothersome at times.
For me, I am competitive but it's never like, "Oh I'm gonna beat them down!" more of, "I want to be up there with them and be equals!" Or "I want to gain their respect."

when i was in primary school, my year group was separated into two classes. in my class, people used to consider me the 'smartest' and the same applied to another girl in the other class. each class had a slight rivalry and it was like we were the mascots for it. it was quite funny looking back, and it wasn't really spiteful or anything.
now i try to do as best as i can and better than other people in general, but if it doesn't work out it doesn't work out. i guess that competition would keep me on my feet more today but it's a different environment and i'm older, so a 'rivalry' of sorts wouldn't be ideal.

Eh, I dunno. In real life it would probably be for the bad unless it's like, casual gaming things. As for competing for a goal, man let's just be friends most of the time, unless there is this thing I would really want but eh I don't really share my interests and things with too many people, so.

Not a fan of rivalry or even competition. I hate when people one-sidedly start competing with me like at the gym when someone starts on the machine next to you and makes it a point to go faster and occasionally they'll even look over at your stats. I couldn't care less about what other people do. I just focus on me and my progress.
