<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

Basically I've been friends with this guy for a while (over a year) and I've noticed the beginning of our friendship was a lot more...friendly. However it has evolved to the point that it feels like every one of our exchanges almost has to end in some form of argumentative one-upmanship. 

We became friends through a pretty competitive videogame, so our discussions tend to rotate around that game, and so numerous, competitively focused, topics tend to come up. Almost all of the time it feels like we're jockeying for position without either of us acknowledging it. It's gotten to the stage that a lot of the time it feels like our discussions are more about being right than actually talking to one another.

It definitely feels like things are suffering because of this and I'm not sure what to do. I feel like I should try and not let it bother me, but on the other hand an immature side of me is incredibly uncomfortable with being sub-ordinate to someone my junior, regardless of how much respect I have for his maturity or intellect.
<bot>: Friendship feels like it's deteriorating into both of us almost trying to assert dominance, always be right, always be smarter, funnier. The friendship is suffering because of this and I'm not sure what to do.
