Yesterday my sister had a bunch of people over for a picnic and i watched as she basically insulted them in one way or another throughout the day. She would bring up embarrassing things that have happened to them or things they clearly didnt want to discuss with a group of people they didnt know that well, and it was humilitating. Why does she do that, and how can i get her to stop! People were leaving because they were so uncomfortable. She sees nothing wrong with it!

Well, what you could do is sit her down and poliltely tell her that when she does that she makes people fell uncomfortable and embarassed. If she doesn't see any mistake and doesn't agree with you, let her learn the hard way. Someday she will do that to someone and they will say something to her about it, instead of just politely walking away or just brushing it off. Don't worry, she'll come around. Good luck!

Perhaps she has self esteem problems and by belittling others it makes her feel better about herself. If you have a good relationship with your sister I think you could tell her what you think of her performance. Rea sure her, point out her good qualities. Be honest and open she will some day see the light. Next time you have a picnic delegate her a task, so she will feel important . Also take into consideration her age if she is immature belittling is making her feel mature

People like that do it to make themselves feel better. They figure that if they can put the spotlight on someone else's faults, nobody will look at hers.
A much better approach would be to take responsibility for her own faults and work on those to lift herself up instead of trying to bring everyone down to her level.

Let her figure it out on her own
she has to know how it annoys people or how uncomfortable they are around her - one day she is going to say something to the wrong person and she will get hers

When she is completely friendless she will understand. Try putting her on the receiving end and tell her this is the way she makes others feel. She should develop some empathy for people.

Let her learn the hard way. One of these days she'll insult the wrong person and be picking her *** up off the floor.

If you already told her, then just leave her out of the next get together.
