Today, a broad array of recent psychological research has led some researchers to conclude that hypercompetitiveness resembles a diagnosable mental disorder -- a volatile alchemy of obsessive compulsiveness, narcissism, neurosis and sometimes a dose of paranoia. Competing can be a healthy way to push yourself and achieve your goals, but it can also lead to a disorder if it becomes a problem. People with an overcompete syndrome are excessively competitive and may become obsessed with winning. This can lead to problems in personal relationships, work, and other areas of life. People with this disorder may be unable to let others win or lose and can be very critical and judgmental of others. If you are struggling with excessive competitiveness and find it damaging to your life, it may be worth seeking help.
