>>10780860>>10780862feeling inferior to your friend wouldnt work out in a friendship, they would be too far away from each other.
being equal would make the friendship hollow and break after a time, its just sitting around, having someone to drink and talk sometimes, but there isnt the fire of a real friendship.
feeling too superior to your friend wouldnt work out either, you are to far above of your friend (or you feel like this) that the friendship would fall apart after a time.
feeling slightly superior keeps the fire of friendship alive, both are trying to get better, a friend like that is a rival and a friend at the same time.
I only had 3 people in my life like that and the friendships worked pretty well, one for example was a guy with the best math grades in class along with me. There was always a rivalry between us two, trying to prove that i am better than him, it was really fun.
