竞争对手之间的感情十分复杂。尽管他们有竞争，但他们也可能是朋友，也可能是敌人，或者对彼此漠不关心。竞争中将贬低一方，并毫无人性地侮辱对方的情况也十分常见。
竞争对手常常争夺稀缺资源，这种稀缺资源通常是另一人的感情和注意力，比如兄弟姐妹争夺母爱，两个本是朋友的女人争夺孩子。竞争中的危险和悲伤，会使竞争变质，甚至可能使朋友变为敌人。
竞争创造了三角关系，戏剧三角或其他情况可能随之而来。
故事中，竞争没有敌意激烈，因此很多时候更容易接受，这取决于你追求刺激的程度。
就像其他故事一样，在戏剧中看到熟悉的模式，有助于我们接受现实，并赋予生活中类似的模式以意义。

Discussion
Rivals can have a broad range of emotions towards one another. Although they compete, they may also be friends. They may also be enemies or be indifferent to one another. It is common in competitions to reduce the other party to an insensate object which can consequently be abused without human concern.
Rivals often compete over a scarce resource, often the affections and attention of another, from the mother of siblings to a boy being fought over by two women who might otherwise be friends. The danger and sad fact of rivalry is that it can turn sour and friends may become bitter enemies.
Rivalry creates triangular relationships and the Drama Triangle or other Games can ensue.
Rivalry in a story is less vicious than enmity and is thus easier in many ways to watch and accept -- depending on what level of excitement you are seeking.
As with other stories, seeing familiar patterns being played out helps us accept and give meaning to similar patterns in our own lives.
