Every time I leave uni and visit family my younger sister is always tweaking out about stupid shit I do. Not only does my mom only ever talk to her about her degree and never mine, but at family gatherings, she, her bf (who's way taller and better looking, not even whining its just the truth) and the rest of my family cant be bothered to talk to me, even on thanksgiving and Christmas. They think all of my interests are so strange. I guess reading and niche sports (billiards mainly) are just below them. It's gotten to a point where whenever I go visit them I'll troll the fuck out of my sister and piss her off as a petty victory. I wanna convince myself I can salvage my relationship with my sister, but all my life she's always looked down upon me because she's so much smarter, prettier, whatever. I don't WANT to hate her but I do. It sucks even more because she's the younger one yet everyone likes her so much more than me. Anyone relate?
>>34036122yeah. the "likes" are probably because of all the asskising she does, and you don't. she has that competitive gene to want to outdo you in your parents eyes, and if possible replace your place in family with her boyfriend.nobody who does that or parents who fall for that shit are worth any of your thought or energy.
>>34036137I've actually never heard this kind of take before. Interesting, is it like a psycho thing?
>>34036122There’s nothing wrong billiards, but it is a pretty niche sport. You can’t expect anyone to care.What do you read about? I’ll bet it’s some weirdo stuff like aliens or Hitler.
>>34036151>is it like a psycho thing?it's a frequent family occurrence, in this case more like a woman thing. as such it's usually mom/daughter family dynamics that enable it (no father/weak father)
>>34036174Not aliens or Hitler, I need to catch up on the lore lol.The Bible, sometimes philosophy, dostoevsky, Dune.
>>34036177I see. I did have a weak father. Years ago I spiritually overcame my father through therapy and Christiantiy.>>34036182Also its like all my country bumpkin senpai ever wants to talk about is muh jewelry or hunting. I dont even dislike hunting but all we ever talk about is so repetitive and stupid. I'm not expecting Aristotles philosophy class on thanksgiving but damn we never talk about our interests or worries, etc etc. I even try to get to know my family and extended family better but its like anything other than consumerism or gay politics they cant comprehend
