[quote=Anonymous]I feel silly typing this out and need an outsider perspective. I feel like my whole life I have been attempting to build an identity independent of my younger sister. The problem is, I feel threatened by her because even though she is similar to me in her interests and hobbies, she is the more attractive and successful one. It’s like whatever ideas I have, she executes them much better than I.

I was artistic as a child and was pretty good. She also picks up art as her hobby and excels at it. I wouldn’t say she’s bad at all but as good as me. I was bookish and majored in literature in school. She didn’t but English was her favorite subject and suddenly she has taken up reading asa big hobby and loves to brag about how many books she’s read. She also seems to dress similar to how I do with us both gravitating towards the same style of clothes and shoes.

It’s very annoying! I just want to be me and not have a prettier and mote successful version of a mini me in my sister!
