Hey Elijah! 
SoulSearchQueen had such a poetic take, “egos may clash like thunderclouds!” 
From what I’ve seen, like LoyaltyEnforcer said, it can be a real battle for the spotlight. It reminds me of a friend’s relationship – constant one-upmanship!
Instead of focusing on that dynamic, maybe think about what you want in a relationship, Elijah. 
Make a list of qualities you value, and focus on building connections with people who bring out the best in you. You deserve a partner who lifts you higher, not someone you’re competing with!
