I have a friend who is always in competition with me.. When ever we go out to eat or workout or go clubbing, he always brings up a secret competition that is going on. Example " I ate more than you"
"I lift more than you" " I dance with more girls than you" I would just ignore it because I didn't give a shit until I was gaming this girl and was trying to get her to go to the club with me..he walks up and says " I dance with 4 girls that night and he only dance with 2 who do you think had more fun" I played it off and said i'm really picky about who I dance with they have to have a certain shape kinda like yours. It's like hes trying to make me look bad in front of others. I also found out hes trying to compete with me for money. we work together and my boss called me into his office and told me I shouldn't discuss how much I make because my friend is asking for the same amount now and he has told all the other co-workers I make that much. I didn't mind when it was little things only he cared about now it's getting a little personal. How should I handle this ? I have told him multiple times I don't care or didn't know it was a competition but he still continues and I don't know why...

You sure he is your friend? A friend wouldn't constantly try to out-do you. Friends try to uplift each other. Sure you can bust on each other's balls every now and then, but to do it consistently and not in a joking manner but seriously trying to outmatch each other is not healthy. Don't qualify yourself to him and just ignore him.

"You danced with 8, not 4. Considering how fat they were you should double the math"

Also why the hell are you hanging out with this dude? He's not your friend.

Yeah i'm starting to believe he is not a friend... I'm going to ignore him and watch what information I give out to him..

Yeah I hate this too and got a similar friend.

Pretty much copies everything I do but has to do it a little better. (Then tell me about it)

Doesn't sound like a friend man.

The girl and club thing could potentially just be all in fun, but when he did that at work, that instantly lets you know what you're dealing with. I'd personally drop him all together, but you could just talk to him about it approach. Not sure why you haven't done that yet( or if you did) if this is a consistent thing. Talk to him first and then talk to us.
