My partner and I signed up for all these challenging outdoor courses together thinking it would be fun but we both just get stressed and competitive with each other instead of supportive.

More people experience this than they realize.
The vulnerability of being beginners together is triggering comparison and performance anxiety instead of creating shared wonder.
