I don't want to read into you're being embarrased but it will definitely negatively impact your training if you focus too much on other peoples strength, or expectations.

You know, it's hard to believe, but most people could care less what you lift. And if they do care about that..then fuck 'em. What they should care about is seeing you get better.

I think competition is a great thing. And if can really help give you a champion mindset. It can be grueling and so can help get you mentally tougher. But the "end user" mindset (as Will Brink coined it) is not a long term mindset because as soon as dissapointment happens, then suddenly the "value" is not there.

But when you do the thing for the intrinsic value of the thing itself, you can weather disappointment. Then competition is just icing on the cake.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
