Is it normal for siblings to be hyper jealous of you?

Don’t invite her back over
Limit your interactions and details about your new home , life and salary.

Easy

I am asking because my sister came visit our newly built custom home and the jealousy on her face couldn't be more obvious, and almost seem hateful. We are very low-key on how much money we make, I guess it was a shock to her to see our new house? We saved for years and years and lived in a tiny crappy place before this, she lives in a lower cost-of-living city and bought a nice big house years ago. She doesn't seem the least bit happy for me that we finally bought our forever home.

I can just tell by the phrasing of your post that you are insufferable in general. I'll bet you "don't brag" about your perfect kids either.

I don’t know how common sibling jealousy is in adulthood. In my case, I think my sister has an amazing and beautiful place near a great city- sometimes I think it would be really cool to switch places for a weekend but I don’t feel jealous or want her life or home instead of mine. I like her life for her and my life for me, I think we both feel this way.

Is it possible you could be reading too much into the situation?

Nothing you posted resembled hyper jealousy. But your post gives the impression that you may come across thinking you’re better. Not sure what kind of excitement you were looking for from her.

Find a mirror OP.

So she wasn’t rude at all, said nothing rude but you can tell because of her face? Seriously you are the worst and the jealous one.

Not to pile on buuuutttt

I agree with everyone. The post definitely sounds like you are projecting and desperately want her to feel the envy maybe you’ve felt over the years.

If how you write here is any indication of how you are interacting with her I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a look on her face

Hyper jealous? I haven’t heard this word choice since the 90s.

she did not say anything negative, but the look on the face says it all, it's like she was trying very hard to pretend to be happy for me.

Or trying hard to like it but failed.

These responses are crazy. I can’t help but think they hit too close to home for jealous people.
My siblings are very jealous of me. The OP is talking about financial wealth but I am talking about the wealth of creating a loving family which is a not something we grew up with and something that they were not successful in doing. All of my siblings have greater financial wealth but they are in miserable marriages and have miserable kids. There is nothing I can do to change this. Neither can the OP.

Perhaps she had too much botox?

Are you me? My siblings are very jealous… are for very similar reasons.

Sibling jealousy is very common and the ones on this thread pretending otherwise are simply being disingenuous. So what you observed is likely real, OP.
