Question

I feel competitive with other parents

This is a quote from a parent workshop. The parents are asked to indicate how well they relate to some statements, the quote being one of them.
I check https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/competitive#:~:text=%3A%20of%20or%20relating%20to%20a,to%20compete%20successfully%20with%20others and see that competitive has two possible meanings here:
Does competitive here mean the "I" feel that myself is in a competition with other parents?
Or does it mean "I" am desiring to compete with or even win over other parents?

Abhinash Majhi · Answer

competitive is an adjective.
Usually it is good habit to use adjective before nouns. But there are adjective phrases which don't need any nouns.
Example -
You are nice. (without noun)
You are a nice guy. (with noun)
Your phrase can be - I feel competitive person with other parents
