Friendship
Recognize the competitive undertones in your friendship without judgment. Understanding that competition is natural helps address it constructively. Instead of denying these feelings, use them as a starting point for communication.

Identify how your different talents complement each other. Rather than competing in the same areas, appreciate your unique qualities. Use your distinct strengths to support and elevate each other's growth.
Train yourself to genuinely celebrate your friend's successes. Replace jealousy with authentic joy by focusing on their journey. Share in their happiness without comparing it to your own achievements.
