It's the same with my brother too, who's 3 years older than me. He's 6ft 4 whilst I'm 5ft 8, he's basically an amateur bodybuilder and outgoing in everything he does. Every weekend whilst I sit indoors as usual he's out clubbing with friends and always having a good time. It's really embarrassing for me because I have so much pressure to be more like him.

If we see relatives for example everyone talks to my brother whilst I just sit there awkwardly in silence. He will be chatting about his job, or going out with friends, or whatever exciting thing he's doing, whilst I just have nothing of comparable interest to talk about. I don't hate my brother by any means, he's a great guy, but it is very demoralising at times for me. I honestly believe he's the favourite child for my parents because he's amounted to more than me.

 

Yeah, parents and relatives always prefer the better looking kid. I'm basically invisible as a human being. I wouldn't mind this because i'm used to being a lonely loser, but when my parents force me to go to family gatherings It just seems pointless.

 

No one's gorgeous, but my older sister is normal and my oldest brother is a well-off engineer like grandpa was. He also plays piano and guitar, and was in the local news for some of his model construction.

I think I learned like, half of Mary Had a Little Lamb on the piano.

 

Compared to my brother whose likeable, brilliant and have great social skills, I am just a potato.

 

My sister is way better looking, is a lot more sociable, is smarter, is more well-liked, etc. It's annoying but what can I do? Just accept it and make do with what I have. :stu

 

Not really. My sister is hot, but painfully awkward. I think she might be autistic. She doesn't seem to have nearly as much anxiety as me though.

 

I'm actually better looking and taller than my older brother, but he was always considered the "tough" one and no one ever messed with him. I'm skinny but he's built like a tank and never hesitates to step up and assert himself. So we're complete opposites in that regard. That being said, he was pretty much always a dick to me growing up so I never talk to him anymore.

 

Nah, my brother is just taller and no social problems. Honestly, my parents should have never met. These genes shouldn't pass.

 

I got one good gene that every girl is jealous of and I'm like **** yeah. I just said that to make me feel better, my sisters got all the other good ones but it's all good because I got one that they don't have.

That's so childish but oh well.

Now I'm curious. What good gene did you get that your sisters didn't?

 

My older brother did get some good genes that I don't have. I'm taller than him but he doesn't have SA and has always been in naturally better shape then me, even before he started lifting years ago.

 

Nope, I got the "better" genes, I think. At least on the outset: Taller, faster runner, clearer skin, higher IQ also (if we're going by bogus online intelligence test)...

However, my sister seems like the "normal" one out of us: Lower expectations in terms of career (happy where she is) and is more about the weekend; travel and food, has a kid, steady mortgage, and doesn't seem to have the same difficulties with mental illness. Overall, she's got an independence streak and was a lot more level headed.

In terms of looks, we take after different parents (me, my mother and her, my dad) and I think we both received some okay qualities.

It comes down to environment choosing in our twenties... and she won that, so I'm catching up to her.



In the end, it comes down to making do with what you have.
If you feel you're a victim (to genetics, birth), you'll have thrown out all your responsibilities to change for the life you want.

I get what you're saying with how you make the most of what you were given, but when you have nothing to work with self improvement feels like a waste. I feel like most people complain because they can't do anything about their situation. I can't work hard and become taller and my bones thicker to where I look like an average human being. I can't change my facial bone structure with hard work. Height doesn't matter for a girl and neither does bad skin, because you can just hide your bad skin genetics with makeup. I probably have too many chromosomes, but maybe she has a better body than you and better face with makeup, so she never developed social anxiety.

 

By any chance is that you in your avatar?

 

There weren't any good genes to suck. My mother's and father's family are all psychopaths with mental disorders. So we shared the bad genes equally.
