I strive to PR every race, but I know that to succeed you have to have failure. I run during practice and on my own. If I don't PR then I don't get mad at myself, I just tell myself that there is always room for improvement and I can just try harder next time. I am very competitive, but I bring up my competition. I don't put down others while in a race, I tell them that they can do it, and I give them tips as I run.
