4Everbee 1,365 Posted June 27, 2013 This is a short little rant if you don't want to read don't read I'm really upset and I hope this would make me feel better. My little sister wins at everything, she has more friends then me, she has more followers then me, my dad likes her more, she makes more money, everybody loves her, Rose and them always talk to her and Rose (she's my cuz.) always texts her and not me, my mom is always talking about her and shit and she gets everything she wants and doesn't even say thank you and she's always upset and she curses all the time and now my crush likes her and god damn it I'm so sick of this already. She wins at everything, she plays golf better then me for God shakes. She's better then me in every way, she has perfect her, she's skinny and pretty and she's firetrucking perfect and I'm just ugly. She's always talking about her dumb twitter fights and shit and when I try to talk about something she just changes it back to her and I can't take it any more, she's been a bitch to everybody for the past year and I'M getting blamed for it. I';m just so tired of her and her bullshit and everybody liking her more. ~Rant over,~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caity 3,946 Posted June 27, 2013 You'll never be happy with yourself if you're constantly comparing yourself to someone else. There's no real advice anyone could give that'll change your outlook until you start changing how you feel about yourself. 5 Ghost, 4Everbee, Ruby and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) You are your own person, therefore you can't go comparing yourself to others. People that are overly spoiled like your sister normally have an empty piece inside of them, a hole they're trying to fill. Don't beat yourself up over it.

I'm constantly being compared to my niece who always gets what she wants, and seems to have a superiority complex next to me. She always got the better grades 'n such and she's the social butterfly, orders me around, and bla. But there are a few things I'm better at. I'm better a games than her(In KH2 all she dose is ride the freakin' skateboard because she doesn't wanna learn anything else and won't read or listen to instructions) I'm better at science than her, and I'm better at taekwando than her. I found my niche(Place in my environment) so to say, and so you have one too. Focus on that. If she thinks she is better, then challenge her to a few skill contest, crush her pride and show her not to think too highly of herself. Just find your niche...

Ghost 1,857 Posted June 27, 2013 Aw yeah man. The pain of being compared to others. I'm really sorry about all of this but being in a similar spot to you, all I can say is that you are who YOU are. Not everybody is good at everything from the start, so some people have to work harder than others to achieve their goals. Families always do that, but the only thing you can really do is take care of yourself...like, work on self-improvement but only if YOU think you need it. If you see nothing wrong with you then perfect! Stay the way you are! But if you don't like something about yourself and it's within your power to change it, then go for it! If you can make a change and you want to make a change, then yo, go off and make the most of it. But you're your own person so if you see no reason or need to change, then power to you. For now I guess just rant though, hopefully it's made you feel a little better. 2 4Everbee and TheApprenticeofKingMickey reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dracozombie 4,554 Posted June 27, 2013 She has more friends than you? Gee, good for her, I wonder how many of them are actually close to her. She has more followers than you? Oh wow she's popular on a social networking site where a number on your profile equates to your actual worth. Guess that means you just suck. Your parents like her more? She's younger and automatically the faultless little angel--what do you expect? Parents always love something to show off. Keep in mind sweetness is usually empty calories. She makes more mone--dude, you're thirteen and if she's your little sister, she's even younger. Why should money even be a thing right now? There are college students with Masters Degrees that are barely hacking it at coffee shops right now, and you think a little more pocket money is something to be jealous of? She's an entitled, shallow, rude little brat. Why feel jealous of such a creature? Perfection doesn't exist. If you're gonna compare yourself to someone, you might as well pick someone to actually feel jealous of. Then again, I'm an older fart who has difficulty taking anyone under the age of 15 seriously. 8 Dave, RoxSox, Weedanort and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always love reading your posts Dracozombie Basically what Draco said. Also, I have a sister that gets everything she wants, and acts like a total brat. She constantly shoves the fact that she gets everything she wants right into my face. Do I care? Heck no. 1 4Everbee reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheApprenticeofKingMickey 3,689 Posted June 27, 2013 Besides the posts I liked, (and I'm getting this idea from a Tumblr post I read 'cause I'm original like that) you should probably act like you're the shit for a while and see how pretending to be the human embodiment of perfection works out for you. Like, if you're really interested in pissing your sister and your parents off, you should give it a try./shot But really, you act like it doesn't matter or pretend you have better things to care about, it makes a huge difference. Or if you can't do that, at least set a standard for yourself and look for people you want to matter to or to others that care about you. Hell, even try to impress yourself, and strive to be the kind of person you like and want to be. It's what I do when people think of me terribly or say I'm a shit person. Because, in the end, I'm proud of who I've become and who I still want to be. Besides, who's the loser in this situation? Your family, for not appreciating your good qualities and how great you are. 5 Ruby, Dracozombie, Weiss and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because, in the end, I'm proud of who I've become and who I still want to be. Besides, who's the loser in this situation? Your family, for not appreciating your good qualities and how great you are. To add onto this, I wouldn't recommend doing the "act like you're the shit" thing for long. Ff you keep acting all arrogant and haughty and self-confident at the expense of everyone else's opinions, whether or not you can actually back it up, it really will give people something to complain about. But, it might be an interesting experiment to try for a while, just to see how they react. It's better to find a role model that's actually worth looking up to, which I don't think will be your little sister. But, something I've learned is that the traits you admire in a person might just have their consequences from obtaining or keeping them. I used to worship my older brother on the basis of him being really, really successful when he's not even thirty. I still admire him, don't get me wrong, but I've learned the awesome traits he has (ultra hard working, driven, intelligent, good-looking, and well-respected at work) came at the expense of many other things that one would consider valuable. His social life is nill, which doesn't bother him because he spends almost all his waking hours working, studying, exercising, and otherwise doing his own thing. He's great at what he does because he's hyper-competitive and hates the thought of anyone beating him (though it helps he enjoys his job). He's able to pull it off because he has a scary amount of energy that he needs to burn off, or he feels antsy and unproductive. He doesn't hang out with his friends anymore, and he's been through many girlfriends, because either the girlfriend turned out to be not so great, or his hectic lifestyle just didn't have room for them. So, the traits you admire in your sister might have come at the expense of other things, or aren't traits to admire at all (seriously, who cares how many followers you have on Facebook?). Perfection is an illusion, and the traits you admire in one person can be things others dislike--one person's popular is another person's attention whore. Just keep in mind what it takes for a person to have things you might be jealous of, and what it implies about that person. 2 TheApprenticeofKingMickey and 4Everbee reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
