[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need to vent. People usually talk about the overachieving older sibling who leaves other siblings in their shadow. But my case is different. I am the older sibling who has consistently messed up leaving a litter of failures in my wake. My younger sister looks up to me as a cautionary tale and has gone out of the way to NOT end up like me. I eat unhealthy and have gained weight. She immediately freaks out that she'll develop a belly too since we share genes and rushes to the gym and starts dieting. I major in liberal arts and struggle for years and she says she wants to make money and have a stable job and enrolls in finance courses. I have absolutely shitty in laws, she ends up with a great guy with in laws who love her like their daughter.

I just can't deal. Her success almost make me feel MORE like a failure because we're sisters, we had the same start. Somehow she always makes better decisions and is more put together and much much smarter than me. She would NEVER end up with in laws like mine because she is a great judge of character and has enough self worth to walk out of a situation she doesn't like. I always had low self esteem and settle for whoever puts up with me.

How can I get out of this toxic cycle and succeed in my own right?

I think your sister is mean to tell you that she is trying not to end up like with you. That's pretty b*tchy.[/quote]
