when in truth, there's nothing about her that could pass the quality test of being good...what do you call this syndrome?

Well, it could be a Superiority complex... then again, maybe she actually has an Inferiority complex and she's overcompensating. Why not just ignore it. It sounds like you may not be the only one who notices. Be the better person and leave it alone.

I wonder if she really has a deep inferiority complex and is hiding it behind a confident, boastful front? I say this because it reminds me of my own sister-in-law (my husband's sister) who used to drive everyone crazy behaving like this. After knowing her for years, learning about her past etc., I've come to see that it was all a front to convince everyone, and herself that she could cope with everything life threw at her. Now she's getting old and has mellowed a great deal and seems much wiser, and easier to get along with! She even compliments me sometimes! - that never happened before. The best thing is to try and see the person behind the mask, be patient with her, grin and bear it, love her in spite of her faults and perhaps she'll realise eventually that she doesn't have to be perfect to be loved by her family.

It could be called narcissism, if she is shamelessly believing that she is superior to everyone else and that her needs take precedence over everyone else's and that she is the centre of the Universe... but if she is just a really insecure person putting on a big front to fit in, it could be extreme anxiety that fuels her.

LOL..I think we all get one or two of those in the family..honestly the best advice I can give to you is simply keep your distance,seriously.. the less you know about her and her about you the better!!! And when those family gatherings come, just ALWAYS look your best, NEVER show insecurity but confidence and just be polite, smile and walk away, make conversation short. Anger, frustration, jealousy is what they feed off of, and get a kick out of it, it feeds their ego.That what keeps them going. Trust me...good luck!!

show her shes not even as good as the rest..
show her the qualitys of a human being, and ask her to compare, since she won't be able to tell her to go stand on the corner, because you need 50 cents for a D@mn soda.

Is she new to the family? Sometimes they get a big ego when they're new to the family and trying to find their place. It's the, "I just got married, it's all about me" newlywed syndrome.
