blue ocean strategy?

I was raised to be a competitive scholar. But I did not find it so useful. So as an adult, avoiding competition has been a large part of my brand.

I don't need to _ which many people compete for.

: get fucked, high, or wasted

: be socially affirmed, supported, or welcome

: live in certain countries

: work in certain roles

: obtain certain credentials

: have children

All of these are fun games, and sometimes I play them in moderation. But as a matter of identity they are peripheral to my own interests. Such is my trauma and the good life I have made of it.
