With your last paragraph you mean you’ll have to look for something different to do as soon as someone else gets better at you? Why?
If I understand correctly this still sounds like your ego is perusing these things which is the problem to begin with.
From what I’ve learned, with just doing things for the sake of doing and challenging yourself rather comparing ones work to others is the goal. Maybe you meant it and I didn’t catch 😃
And I also catch myself often enough in this trap. But it’s getting less frequent compared to let’s say 10y ago
