[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just feel so down everytime I speak with my sister. She is older than me by two years. We lost our mother at a young age (I was 4). You'd think we would be very close, but we are not. She is just so tough and mean and, well, I am the opposite. I am very sensitive and easily hurt, hate arguing like she does and on and on. She just has a very tough shell. Does that make sense? I find I go to my good girlfriends when I need help or emotional support, not my sister. She just makes me feel worse. It bums me out. Am I the only one out there who really doesn't care much for their sister and goes to friends instead? After talking with her, I can feel so alone. Just wanted to vent. Thank you! [/quote] My DSis and I are the exact opposite. She is "sensative" and cries at the drop of a hat. I am the one with the tough shell, pragmatic, resilient and intolerant of self-pity and bullshit. Because Dsis is so emotionally volatile, everyone in the family (besides me) bends over backwards to keep her happy and avoid "hurting" her. It makes me want to vomit. Every minor inconvenience to her is a personal affront to be remembered for YEARS. Every time she is asked to give a little, we are all just trying to "douse her light". Really? When she is in one of her states, I listen quietly and don't say much because what I'm thinking is "STFU and put on some big girl panties" so I keep my mouth shut. I have had a tough time and have needed some support, her response is to compare how tough her life is with mine (from the pool side no less) and to tell me that when "you pick up one end of the stick, you pick up the other" Nice. So maybe, take 5 seconds and look at yourself through your sister's eyes. You might be surprised what you see.[/quote]
