Why?

so i feel like this, just how i did years ago, like i can’t cope with anything and just that constant sinking feeling, and feeling like i’m alone when i’m clearly not, in any way, i lve in a big family of 6, im constantly surrounded my lovely people, some of wich i trust with anything and everything some not so. Yet i just refuse to sort myself out becuase its all so stupid and childish. when i was younger (2 possibly 3 years ago?) i used to feel like this ALOT jut becuase of my sister.. she had done nothing wrong exept be perfect, i was the second child.. and i’ve always felt second best to everyone i don’t get the grades she does, im not as good at sport or music, i know that i souldn’t compaire myself to others.. but can i help it realy? she has played trumpet for 2 years.. the same with saxophone for me.. i am doing grade 3 and will most likley fail she is doing grade 7.. and would pass if she took the exam with her eyes close and ear plugs in. anyway that not the point, that used to bother me years ago.. but one of my friends made me realise i was beeing a tad silly.. soo i’ve been fine, untill recently, i don’t know why, or how.. or anything? i just feel so .. stupid and helpless, like my existance is pointless and that i am falling..

You should look at what you do best that your sister can’t do. You shouldn’t keep comparing yourself to your sister, you are your own person. You’re not necessarily going to be good at the same things, but you will be better than her at other things. Just try and focus on those so you can see your self worth rather than looking at everything your sister can do better than you.

Something I found on the net

A samurai, a very proud warrior, came to see a Zen Master one day. The samurai was very famous, but looking at the beauty of the Master and the Grace of the moment, he suddenly felt inferior.

He said to the Master, “Why am I feeling inferior? Just a moment ago everything was okay. As I entered your court suddenly I felt inferior. I have never felt like that before. I have faced death many times, and I have never felt any fear — why am I now feeling frightened?”

The Master said, “Wait. When everyone else has gone, I will answer. “

People continued the whole day to come and see the Master, and the samurai was getting more and more tired waiting. By evening the room was empty, and the samurai said, “Now, can you answer me?”

The Master said, “Come outside.”

It was a full moon night, the moon was just rising on the horizen. And he said, “Look at these trees. This tree is high in the sky and this small one beside it. They both have existed beside my window for years, and there has never been any problem. The smaller tree has never said to the big tree, ‘Why do I feel inferior before you?’ This tree is small, and that tree is big — why have I never heard a whisper of it?”

The samurai said, “Because they can’t compare.”

The Master replied, “Then you need not ask me. You know the answer.”

You should do what you want. If you want to be a doctor, go for it. Don’t worry about what others think, it’s your life and you should do whatever you will be happiest doing.

stop stop stop comparing your self to your sister!!!!(you are doing your self a huge injustice when you measure your value from some one else) just accept your self for who you are. it is the best and hardest thing you will learn in life. Whitney Houston greatest love of all !!! sounds like you have middle child syndrome. I was the middle of 5. everything the other 4 did I went in the other direction. but you shouldn’t give up your dream of being a doctor just because your sister comes up with the idea. my sister’s and I use to hate each other when we were young. now we are truly each others best friends and my baby sister is my hero!! we love and support each other. maybe you feel upset about this now. but have you ever really asked your sister for help. I bet she would help you if you asked her. I understand that living in your sisters shadow isn’t easy!! but just remember being your sister isn’t easy either!! don’t fool your self in to thinking it is easy!! let your ambitions move at your own Pace!! untill then love your self!!

your not alone trust me, i feel like this sometimes, so many people feel like this. and rebecca is right, stop comparing yourself to your sister, you are your own person, each person is special in there own way. you do what you do to make yourself happy. dont kill yourself for someone elses approval thats hard to get.
