Siblings like all people are not the same..... respect is earned. what are your feeling disrespected about? have you asked them why?
If an older sibling ........some tend to take a role like they are in charge or something and as we get older they do not let go of that mode....always seeing a younger sibling as a child.
Hey buddy,im so sorry to hear that you're feeling frustrated with your sister.It can be really tough when we feel like our siblings aren't respecting us.But remember that sibling dynamics can be complex not all siblings are the same but it's common for siblings to have disagreements & annoyances,they are individuals with their own thoughts,feelings & experiences.It's possible that your sister isn't intending to be annoying or disrespectful,but rather,she might be dealing with her own stuff.Have you tried talking to her about how you feel?Sometimes,open & honest communication can really help clear the air and improve relationships.
Hello , I have a older brother , since childhood we both always fought, till this day we are not close as others , we ofc stopped fighting and grew up from it , but whenever we both meet at vacations at our home , I've noticed my behaviour, im always making his fun, mocking him , or try to act better than him , show him down , I think this is the reason we both have such relationship, but yes I do respect him alot , he's better than me in every aspect, I'm not jealous but proud of him, but yes I aslo don't show that bc I'm that cocky , the point is , if she's your younger sister, she will actually like this but she doesn't mean it , and it's common trait.
I can say this of my recent experience, i never had sister but there was a junior who was so close to me we were like siblings, she used to act same towards me as we grew closer. That's when I noticed such behaviour in me aswell around my brother , so yes , all siblings are like this , they don't mean it , but it's kind of a humour or trait of younger ones being annoying and disrespectful
I have a sister of my own and I can relate to it. Depending upon their age. About respect. It is something that is earned but if your sister is small then surely she won't understand that concept.
Another reason is simply she wants attention like any child would like.
I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone in this and I'm sure many other people may feel the same way as you sometimes. Although I can't necessarily answer for you why your sister may be acting this way to only you, learning other people's perspectives including your sister may prove helpful to you in finding the answers you search for.
I know this story very well. Have lived through it.
Some may be surprised to learn that a young child in a family, if given favouritism by a parent, and being of a dominating personality, can control the house.
It's an absurd phenomenon. I grew up in it.
If she is not disciplined parentally, you have a more difficult situation. Don't let her behave like this, if this is indeed what's happening.
Consistently and firmly stand against it. Use a similar comment each time. Like, “that's rude, to talk like that, or to do that.” You may try an attitude of bored annoyance. Firmly. And keep forcing the impression . . “What is this childish nonsense”
Use disapproving firm body language each time. Something she will notice, maybe stand up, at each incidence, hand on hip, and rebuke her. Be consistant
Talk to your parents about it and nip it in the bud. If you are in the odd situation of a parent enabling the bratty kid. Been there, know that. . . you have a problem. Call it out andcshow you wont be a victim.
If she won't change, it may always be this way. If so . . So be it.
You don't have to have every sibling as a friend you know. You really don't
Have you always have this kind of issues with her ? Like has the relationship between you both been always bad ?
I'm sorry you're feeling this way about your sister. Sibling relationships can be really tough at times, and it’s frustrating when you feel like you’re not being respected. It might seem like she's always pushing your buttons or not valuing your boundaries, which can be exhausting.
Siblings often know each other so well that they know exactly how to get under each other’s skin, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay or that your feelings don’t matter. Not all siblings are the same, but it’s pretty common to go through phases where they don’t get along well.
Try to talk to her calmly about how you're feeling when things cool down—it’s possible she doesn’t realize how her actions are affecting you. You deserve respect, especially from family. With time and open communication, things can improve. Just know that your feelings are valid and you're not alone in this.
