How can I stop comparing myself to my older sister?

Question

she is better then me at absolutely everything! We do all the same extra-curriculars and it really bothers me when we have a concert or something and people are always like telling her how amazing she is and how she has a future in it or whatever and to me they're just like oh... you were good to. I want to be happy for her but I can't seem to stop feeling so jealous! Help!

Answer 1

Ick. I know how you feel. Im like that with my cousin Jessica.

I guess all you can do is learn to love yourself.. Or maybe hang out with some people that you dont have to compare yourself to. Im still freakishly jealous of my cousin but we dont hang out that much anymore.. so i guess that helps a bit.

Jealousy is very hard to overcome.

Good luck hunn!

Answer 2

Focus - it is all to do with focus. Focus on your own strengths, not weaknesses. Positivity not negativity. We all have our gifts peculiar to ourselves, find yours and work on those. Best wishes. UK

Answer 3

Okay, just relax here. I have a sister too and sometimes I feel the same way because she gets a lot more attention than me. You need to look at all the good things about yourself and realize that you love her too much to have this feeling over her. Maybe you could even tell her how you really feel about her and you might be surprised about what she has to say. Your sister will have a good feeling inside to know that you see her as someone like this.
