[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an only child, but there is an imaginary favorite sibling of my parents that keeps popping up with different names they get from people they meet that are close in age to me. They prefer other people’s daughters to me. I was born to be never enough.

This was the biggest thing I ever dealt with in therapy. I’m not competing with these people any longer, and when they start comparing me to these women, I say goodbye and go where I’m wanted.[/quote]

You know what that is about? Outward appearances.  Whomever is gushing about (this or that here), is trying to pretend that they have a heart.  They don't - they never did and they never will.  People see right through that pantomime BS, OP - the recipients, the bystanders, everyone.  Don't worry, you need not say a thing. Not a damn thing.  Get the popcorn, and enjoy! I give you permission ;)

I wrote the post you quoted but I am not OP. I agree with you. As I have moved away from caring about social climbing, I’ve lost my family of origin. Those who haven’t died care about that before all else. I’m not interested in playing that social competition game, so I folded my hand and I’m out whenever they start a round of that, even if the ones that they don’t make all about me.[/quote]
