Competitive Mindset Harms Wellbeing by Focusing on Opponents

Notes

Claim

A competitive mindset creates a win/lose mentality where we focus on our opponents and on winning instead of on ourselves and self-improvement. This shifts attention to the weaknesses of others rather than personal growth. Competitions can cause arrogance in winners and lasting damage to the confidence of those who lose repeatedly.
