I can't understand why I hate (no, hate is too strong a word) dislike and always deride my sister, who is four years younger than me (I am 19) The only clues I have to this problem is that I dislike my mother's wild and spirited character, though I love her, I'm embarrassed of her. When I was young, my friends used to make fun of my mom right in my face. And this wild and spirited character applies to my sister--my sister is very similar to my mother. They are both wild, both very caring, and loving. And each time my sister says to me: "I LOVE YOU!" I feel as if I'm going to barf with disgust....but I don't hate her. I have fun with her at times. But why do I try to best her all the time? Why do I always try to look smarter than her? When she has a bf, why do I try to steal attract him? What am I trying to prove by my callous actions? WHY am I acting like this?
