My Sister Competes With Me Over Everything

Sibling rivalry is common, but when it grows into toxic competition, it damages the bond that should be filled with love. If you find yourself in this situation, try to address it with patience and communication. Don’t fuel the competition, choose peace instead. Sometimes, stepping back or setting boundaries is the healthiest choice. Remember, family should be a safe space, not a battlefield.

Below 👇 is the message I got...

Hi, please I need your advice. I’m 23, and my younger sister is 19. Ever since we were children, she has competed with me in everything. If I buy clothes, she rushes to buy better ones. If I get good grades, she pushes herself to top me. Even with guys, she sometimes flirts with the ones who show interest in me.

At first, I thought it was normal sibling rivalry, but now it feels like she sees me as an enemy rather than a sister. I’m exhausted because I just want peace, not competition.

Should I confront her about it, distance myself, or just ignore her behavior? What would you do if you were in my shoes?
