[quote=Anonymous] I feel so sad for you and for your sister as well. Please consider getting therapy, because it must be wretched to feel this way, I’m sure. Plus, you’re denying yourself one of the richer relationships a person can ever have – closeness with a sibling.

If it makes you feel better, I have a younger sister who is objectively more beautiful, and went into the same career that I had embarked on years earlier and now outearns me by a factor of 10.  And I am freaking delighted for her.  The only thing annoying about the situation is when my parents ask me why I’m not doing as well as she is. But that has nothing to do with her – that has to do with my parents being momentarily stupid.

So I promise you, feeling differently is possible. I’m not sure if you reached this place because of dynamics your parents established, because of unhappiness with your own life, or whatever – but a therapist can help you get to the bottom of it. You don’t have to feel this way. Your sister could end up being your greatest ally and closest friend.[/quote]
