I have never enjoyed competition and many friends are wondering why!
When we had running races at school, my PT teacher would rage at me as I waited for the slowest pupils and encourage them to try harder!
Maybe it has to do with my distaste of crowds and my early reluctance to appear in photographs, resulting in my mother complaining about it (she died in 2014).
In any case I have always preferred to be the observer rather than the protagonist or foil!
Am I weird?

Not at all, as far as I’m concerned. I’ve long maintained that I was raised to be cooperative, not competitive. The sports I enjoy most pit me against myself, e.g. skating, gymnastics.
