    recently i've been feeling jealous of my sister.
    we're both in different colleges. But she's much more social than me and has a lot more friends than me. i'm just failing at making friends. i've lost touch with a lot of my friends from school in the last few years. i find it hard to talk to her because my life sounds so pitiful in comparison to hers.. she has wonderful stories about her time in college but i just sound pathetic..

    i'm happy for her but i feel inadequate in comparison to her..any one else feel like this? any way i can stop being so petty? im mad at myself for feeling this way.

    Have you ever made this known to her?

    If you feel arkward going out socially and gettign to know new people by yourself, can you not ask to tag along with her once and a while?

    My younger bro kept to himself alot when we were younger didnt really get along with people in his age group, but over the last few years we've started hanging out and it's been kinda of like a rebirth for him...

    Doubt there'd be much harm in that?

    thanks drav.. she tends to take centre stage in whatever room she walks into. when we're in the same company, i just have to listen to her. i cant get a word in at alll!

    Misconfused,

    No problem.

    If you feel a bit pushed aside by the sister, it might be better / easier to work your way out of it in little steps.

    If there's a few people in college you share lectures back to back, just make a few comments here and there in corridors, something basic like "hi, how's things and such.."
