I really have to internalize this message. I always feel like I have to be better and smarter than everyone around me just to feel adequate. I guess that's one characteristic of insecurity.
Is this why romantic relationships seem to kill ambition? I've seen this in myself and some of my friends.

- Kenji 10y agoWhy should romantic relationships kill ambition? In my experience, it's the exact opposite. It is very common that people make their best works when they are in love. Of course, if ambitions get in the way of the relationship, that is not healthy. But hey, nothing wrong with a bit of competing and trying to prove yourself.
