I hate some of my relatives because I notice they are very competitive. I notice whenever we have something new like computer, car or motorcycle they will have theirs soon and they make sure it is better than what we have. If we travel in different places they will travel abroad. They are also not humble and a little bully.

I just ignore these people. One of our relatives is like this with his family members. My siblings and I just let them do what they want and ignore them.

There are a couple things you can do with competitive people. One is to try and to understand their motivation. Often, people are competitive for a reason. Maybe they want to be the best at something, or they want to be appreciated. If you can understand their motivation, you can better understand how to work with them.


Another thing you can do is to try and avoid competitions. Sometimes, people become competitive when they feel like they are losing. If you can avoid competitions, it will help to build better relationships with your relatives.

Dealing with competitive people can be challenging, but it's important to stay calm, assertive, and focus on cooperation rather than confrontation. Set clear boundaries and communicate openly and respectfully, while also being willing to compromise when appropriate. Try to understand their perspective and motivations, and look for ways to find common ground and work together towards shared goals.

Some people might Competitively deal with their relatives by trying to win or succeed in a competition, by trying to be the first in a group or by being the most exclusive. Others might become estranged from their relatives if they are not able to compete in a fair way.
