consider her as your own little child as an elder. try to forgive her mistakes. try to control your anger towards her and be sympathetic. in a fight, show patience and behave as a sensible person instead of shouting at her. help her in her tasks. be friendly with her. give time to her and engage in mutual fun activities so you can get more closer. children learn from elders. if we behave and show some maturity and empathy, it will vividly affect her too. our mind will be surely at peace when there will be no arguments at home.

See her as a person. A person with her own struggles, fears, anxieties, irrationalities and flaws. I'm sure you have someone in your life whose actions you excuse because you love them. Try applying the same thing to your sister. She's just a person. And she's YOUR little sister. Give her some love, a little bit of understanding, and she will open up too. Have honest convos with her as of to why she irritates you. Be open to listening to what she has to say as well. Be kind, be gentle - y'all are family. Family is tough, but it's beautiful when in harmony.

Remember that in 10+ years they may feel embarrassed about how they behaved, some aspects of life exist at a minimum age, you can't get mad at someone's lack of world knowledge or common sense at 5-7, they haven't yet experienced enough to have a basis. alternatively, finding a mutual hobby helps build bonds, but the more personal and true the hobby is, the deeper it can be. Understand that as the older sibling, you likely know more then them. so it's up to you to bridge the gap. if you wish to stop hating your little sister, change your perception of them. Hate is a decision you are making. if you don't like something they do, try to understand what that is and why they do it. are they a very young kid,(4-5) acting like a goblin? then endure! as they experience life, they will calm down in a year or two. are they much older, in their teens? then help them understand who they are, and what they enjoy. You may find more in common than you think.

I believe the first step is to correctly identify what you are actually feeling and what is triggering it. Hate is a very strong emotion, and similar to love, it is very often confused with other strong emotions such as resentment. It is at times common for an older sibling to resent a younger one because they usually preceed changes in what was once a comfortable family structure. A younger siblings may command most of a parents' attention; they may also bring added responsibilities to an older siblings' life; and because of an adults natural tendency to protect the youngest, the older sibling may find themselves being unfairly disciplined when the younger sibling cries out. recognizing these triggers can help you focus yur emotion on the situation rather than on the person. Think in terms of I dislike it when...

I've learned over my years with my little sister that I need to accept her for who she is, it's tough at times because we are completely different people. When I'm with her, I try to remain in the present moment without any judgements towards her or myself. If I find myself frustrated, I return to the present moment by focusing on my breathing then allowing outside sounds into my awareness. Self-awareness is important, especially when we're around those who we find challenging. I also find loving-kindness meditations helpful. We don't always have to like everyone we come in contact with including family members, allowing yourself some space around that is ok. It's important to ask yourself what exactly does hate mean to you? Do you dislike her as a person or is it her behaviour? Do your parents treat her differently than you? Exploring these types of questions can lead to revelations that may help you resolve the feelings you're having.

If your little sister is annoying you by trying to get close to you, or be with you at all times, you shouldn't be annoyed. I understand siblings can be overwhelming to the point where your emotions towards them are mainly just anger. If what you're feeling is jealousy, jealousy that she is getting more attention, take a bit of time to talk about it with your parents. Recognize that little sisters may get more attention, but you receive more trust from your parents. I'm sorry you feel a bit of grief from your sister. But try to look at it from someone else's view.

If it is due to toxic behaviour, remove yourself from her vicinity and surround yourself with positive influences. If she is actively being a terrible person to you or just in general, call her out on her behaviour. You are the older sibling and have the opportunity in the sibling dynamic to address this. If it is out of envy, focus less on her and more on what you are, what good you bring to the table. Trying to be the better person is a struggle but is a noble goal - better yourself through good social connections, good habits, good outlooks on life. It leaves a lot less room for hate in your life.

Many people hold rivalries with their siblings, and it can seem especially hard to get along with your younger sibling. They seem to follow you everywhere, want whatever you want, and do whatever you do. Try putting yourself into your sister's shoes. She may just really look up to you and admire you. And although this can feel a bit annoying at times, she probably means no harm. I went through a similar experience with my younger sister, but now that we have both aged and become our own people, we get along much better now. This may just be a temporary thing you need to wait out and try being compassionate in the meantime. Instead of pushing her away, spend some time with her.
