[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was this person for many years until bad things happened to derail my smug little life. In retrospect I can’t believe how naive and judgmental I was. I thought life was really straightforward and linear and that you set a goal and then took the steps to achieve the goal. I knew people who occasionally got slammed by tragedy but I pretty much thought they were outliers. I am currently reeling from the revelation that input often doesn’t equal output (I.e. the hardest working moms will have the best kids, marriage, career etc.) and currently life feels really random to me[/quote]

Op here. This has been me. I’ve been hit really hard with some misfortune over the past few years and life hasn’t since made any sense. Watching my sister breeze through life in a series of good fortune and watching her become more self impressed and smug is very annoying. She really thinks she has figured out life and is better than me because I was unlucky.[/quote]

It sounds like you need to talk to her less. Keep convos short and sweet over text for a while. I think talking to a therapist would help.[/quote]
