Competetion

Why does it seem that a lot of people feel like they have to compete with me...?

I mean...I was talking to someone I havent talked to for a few weeks, and then they ask me how things are and such...but it seems as though they are asking to update so they can compare themselves to show that they're doing better? Or to see if I'm not doing good so they can feel better about themselves...

I dont understand why someone would do that. Okay, I do understand, but I cant say I approve of it. I dont try and ask people how they are only to get a good feeling about it when they arent doing well, and then patronize them when they're feeling good. With the insincere "Oh, I'm happy for you". Granted, it's on MSN and I cant hear the tone of voice, but honestly...if you were to be tactful and less insincere you could drop the "Oh" part, it IS on MSN for christ's sake.

I dont think I've done that to anyone...why would they do that to me? All I do is try to be nice, and then I get this attitude and spite...? For what...? I didnt do anything to this person, yet they seem so excited to see things in my life fail. I think its some sort of insecurity on their part...so I really should just be sympathetic instead of so insulted.

I guess its just my intial feelings of annoyance when someone seems happy to see something wrong in your life? I mean...I know I'm a lucky kid, but thats no reason to spite me like that...

Sigh, it seems as though no matter how hard I try to be nice to everyone...it can rub them the wrong way..
