+1 Your whole family was in line for a ride and you decided to stand in a separate line, going slower than everyone else, for no reason at all, meaning they'd all have to wait for you after they finished the ride, for no reason? She is probably exhausted by having to manage your lack of awareness and flightiness.

+2. I was losing my shit just reading your story.

Just say “No thank you. I’m fine here.”

At first i didn't understand why, but I later figured out the left line is for those who want to sit in a front seat and the right line was for all the other seats. The right line was moving faster than the left line, but I decided since I was already standing in the left line, I would just stand there. My twin sister saw the right line was moving faster. She told me to get on the right line in a scary, uncomfortable manner. Parents stood in silence while kids (including her own) started backing off like they were scared. I didn't like the way everyone was staring at us. My twin sister always had the tendency to assert dominance and sometimes I just feel uncomfortable around her and how she acts. But she's my twin and that's why I continue contact with her. If anyone criticizes her she gets mad. The whole family is afraid to criticize her. Maybe I should just not go anywhere with her?

Were you assuming that your whole family would ride the front cars. Instead of riding together? And that parents would be OK with being separated from their kids?

I don't think OP assumed anything other than that she couldn't be bothered to move from the line that she'd inadvertently ended up in, and that other people shouldn't expect her to move 2 feet so it can save 10+ people all 20 minutes or more of waiting for something they didn't even want even when they all have limited time at an amusement park.

Umm...Disney works, Disney land, etc.? Or OP could live somewhere else where it’s warm already and theme parks are open?

I find the tone of your post scary and uncomfortable.

Did you two later get into an argument over by the claw machine?

OP didn't say where she was. Yes in many states the amusement parks are open year round.

OP, something about this incident made you think “Whoa!” Pay attention to your emotional warning system. Perhaps this incident in the line stood out because it brought into focus other things your sister does that don’t quite feel right to you. Or maybe getting snapped at reminded you in one way or another or a different upsetting memory that may not even be related to your sister. Sit with it for a while and see if you can figure out more about what you were experiencing that felt off. If you can seem to sort through it, or if other interactions with your sister spark similar feelings, consider talking to a therapist. They can be great resources for helping people unravel why things are upsetting and how to better manage them in the future.

OP, I get that you are embarrassed by what happened but it's difficult to see that your sister did anything particularly wrong. You didn't do anything "wrong" either. It's a big kerfuffle. Let it go.
