[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Can I talk about how my sister dresses like me, has similar hobbies to me and tries to out do me.

Some examples. A few years ago I was bored of my non-profit job and I wanted to do something else. After researching, I decided I may way to work in the small tech industry in the DC area. I started interviewing at places and was not much successful. Then I heard that my sister, who was in Sales,  suddenly switched a job to tech company in DC...Literally right after I told her about my plans. As luck would have it, she got the job while my interviews did not go anywhere.

I got into cooking and baking hardcore and have an instagram food blog. Suddenly she is into cooking. She likes to make 7 course meals over weekends after buying various cookbooks.

I have a particular style of dress. Lo and behold, she literally copies my styles head to toe.

I am an English major and read classics in school. I am a major architecture and museum buff. I go spend hours visiting old historic homes and museums and it was my dream to get married in one. My sister who is a business major who doesn't know the difference between baroque and beaux arts is suddenly coveting the exact same building for her wedding! WHY?

[b]I am so sick of her being a shadow. I need my own life without her copying and outdoing me. Maybe this is in my head. I need an appointment with my therapist.[/b]
[/quote]OP, as I noted up thread, your sister may indeed be an a**hole but [i]you[/i] are the one renting her space in your head. [i]She is not going to change[/i] but you don't have to let this control your life. Work on how you can let go and move on. Good luck.  I know this is hard.[/quote]
