07. I’m Not Mad, I’m Just Trying to Win

This week on Toxic Behavior, we’re getting a little too real about our competitive tendencies—and where they actually come from. Carly and Alycia unpack how growing up with brothers basically turned everything into a competition, and how that shaped who they are today (hint: intense, unhinged, and maybe a little triggered by game night).But somewhere along the way, Alycia has a realization: you can be super competitive... and still weirdly passive. We explore what that means, how it shows up, and why a lot of us are stuck in this push-pull dynamic of wanting to win but also not wanting to start drama.Is it better to stay chill and pick your battles, or go full villain and say what you’re really thinking? Probably both. We’re figuring it out in real time.If you’ve ever downplayed your opinion while secretly needing to be the best at everything—you’re not alone. This one’s for the the middle siblings, the overachievers and the competitive bitches. ❤️🔪
