I don't think its arrogant my brother. Wouldn't you be so devastated if on the day of Judgement other believers were receiving more love and attention from Allah SWT than you?

It is arrogant if one expects to be better than everyone else. A humble person fears the worst for himself and strives to be a better Muslim because of this fear. If a person asks to be better loved than others in the sight of Allah

, then it is a sign of arrogance because others might have more taqwa than him and may be more deserving than him, whereas if a person wants to be exclusive, he believes that he is better than others when he has no idea how Allah

has ranked him.

On the other hand, competing to earn good deeds is a praiseworthy act. For example, trying to aim for the first rows in salah is an excellent competition.
