Why do you say "peers are enemies"?

Since they are "peers", the competitive relationship is bound to exist. Under the premise of limited market share, the more peers, the smaller the market cake each party will get, and the natural peers will be bored with each other, and the saying that "peers are enemies" will be derived from this.

this shows a truth: where there are crowds, there is competition. Especially in today's society, information is very developed, and often a valuable piece of information is known by many people at the same time. Colleagues are enemies, which not only shows the phenomenon of industry competition, but also shows the selfish nature of human beings.

psychological effect in peer competition

1. Arouse motivation and give full play to it

Individual needs are diverse. Under competitive conditions, people's needs for self-esteem and self-realization are stronger, and they will have a stronger interest in competition activities, a stronger will to overcome difficulties and a stronger belief in success. Individuals will mobilize all forces, go all out, give full play to their inherent potential and creativity, and strive to make themselves invincible in the competition.

2. Stress state, whole-body mobilization

When people are in a state of stress, they have a strong emotional experience, which stimulates the adrenal gland to secrete hormones, and the blood sugar rises, which makes the muscles of the whole body feel a sense of tension, and all organs and tissues of the whole body are mobilized to cope with the sudden emergency. This kind of tension is beneficial to participate in sports competitions and other events.

3. Know yourself and learn from each other to make up for each other's weaknesses

Through competition with others, individuals have a better understanding of their own characteristics and abilities, so they can objectively evaluate themselves, make up for each other's weaknesses and strive for perfection. Even if you encounter failures and setbacks, you can find reasons to strive for a "comeback." The so-called "failure is the mother of success".

4, eager for quick success and instant benefit, short-sighted

Because individuals are bent on defeating each other and often compare themselves with their opponents, they tend to overestimate themselves; Turn a blind eye to the advantages and friendly expressions of competitors, do not want to make a fair evaluation, and even adopt a jealous, belittling and hateful attitude, which is not conducive to establishing good interpersonal relationships with others. From the long-term development, this will lose a lot because of small things, and it is also a short-sighted performance.
