Are You Normal?

My friend constantly tries to be better than me.
My friend's getting on my nerves. He's a pretty good friend, except lately he seems to do nothing but brag about everything he does. What bothers me most is that most of things are things that he copied from me! I carry a knife around. (Mostly for hiking) One day I said to him that I was going to start a collection. Couple of days later, "Hey, look at this big expensive knife I bought for my collection!" He then proceeded to gloat about how his knife was bigger than mine. Just one case, but see my point?
Do you think it's normal?

It is also called one upmanship. One upping is real annoying. Since it is a friend you could just give them a few examples and just ask them to stop. Sometimes people don't realize what they are doin. Sometimes its just they admire something about you but feel insecure about it.
