Why does my little brother ALWAYS have to outdo me in everything?

Question

It seems like everything I'm good at, all I have to do is wait a few years and he'll do it better. I'm 4 years older than him, and he always acts like such a jerk when he beats something I've done that I thought I was good at, like he rubs it in my face by going outside my door and doing some idiotic victory song and dance. I hate him so much. I don't mean to sound horrible and nasty, but I really do and I don't know what I can do about it. Help??!

Answer 1

look...maybe you have NO idea..how much it hurts him inside that YOU have done things so well that he has to beat you in everything you do for him to get HIS attn...

he REALLY does look up to you sis..and you are in a better situation than you may believe...

you don't (or shouldn't) hate HIM..BUT YOU ARE ENTITLED to not like the way he handles the situation..so maybe talk to him..depends on the age...sometimes it just needs to remain on the low down until he has the maturity to see things through your eyes...see if he understands empathy...or putting himself in the shoes of other people...

it might also have an effect...if he does all this and that because he FINALLY does something that rivals your skills...it is because he respects your abilities..

but...he is a boy..so..you get that competition that shouldn't be there..

Answer 2

try and do something togeather but make it something that you know you are better than him at and outdo him in that event. But while you are doing this event have some of your girlfriends over to be your witnesses and if he out does you in that event and rubs it in your face then you and your girlfriends can give him a makeover or tie him to a chiar and have him in the center and you and girlfriends make a circle around him and makefun of him.
