[quote=Anonymous]OP, maybe it's just a difference in temperament that you are observing between yourself and your SIL, don't be so hard on yourself.

My mother is always exuberantly bragging about the dumbest s#$%...she doesn't just mow the lawn....she mows the most amazing lawn evah with great intensity and dedication to every aspect of its care.  She doesn't just make lunch...she makes the most decadent grilled cheese sandwich that took an immense amount of dedication and focus to pull off. She just has a knack for making the most mundane, benign experiences and objects seem over the top amazing and difficult to accomplish.

In comparison to her, I am very, very low key.  Yet when I switch into an exuberant mindset, I can spot all sorts of things exuberant people like my mother would deem swoon worthy.  i.e. Tonight, we baked deep dish pizza that was shipped to us from Chicago.  I ate it with my family, talked about how delicious it was and commented that we should order it again.  End of experience.  Yet I know that my exuberant mother would have posted the images of the pizza all over Facebook, speak excessively about how long it took her to bake it, how many miles it travelled from Chicago to her home, how exquisite the cheese was, how amazing the crust tasted and on and on.

Im willing to bet your SIL can see all sorts of things in your life that are amazing that maybe you just aren't paying attention to...
