I Am A Little Competitive

I want to be the best, I need to be the best, and that makes me a terrible person to play against anything. I love video games, shooting pool, and many other things that you play with more than one person. My problem is to reign in the shit talking, to keep a level head, to not get in overheated arguments, because I have an OBSESSIVE need to be the best. I think it is a biological thing, an animal instinct, and although some people are able to handle loosing I find it hard to control, the anger I have at not being the best. I also have a very hard time with loosing, I am a sore loser, I hate to race someone and be left looking at the back of their head, I want to be in front, and not be eating someone elses dust. This could be looked as a good thing because when I decide that I am going to be good at something I keep at it practicing or playing over and over until I know I can be the best, or at least give someone a run for their money. But the loosing I need to be more graceful at. This consuming competitiveness is something I need to work on, something I am not proud of, something I will eventually defeat or at least hide locked in a cage.
