By this definition I am obviously not a competitive person... But sometimes I suspect this is because if I allowed myself to be, I would be such a bad looser :) So to prevent myself from being disappointed with myself if I loose, I have convinced myself that I am not a competitive person, and thus I avoid getting to caught up in things. Silly éy? Or maybe it is "survival tactics"...
