... do you (honestly) find it hard to be happy for other people?
Do you measure yourself by your own ability / achievement / actions or by those of other people? Does it depend on the person/s in question?
I’m interested to try to better understand someone I know.
I’ll start, I’d say I have very high expectations of myself. However I don’t describe myself as competitive and I don’t think my friends would either, because I try to gauge my outcomes by my own abilities and not judge other people or make them feel judged. I often feel a bit threatened or inadequate when around people who are openly competitive, I don’t like to try to compete so I stay quiet.
