Talk to them. Maybe they don't realise the situation by themselves! You can never know. Talking to them would make the situation clearer for you and your parents.

It's good to remember that they still love you and don't have to compete with your sibling to win them over.

I do felt that my parents prefer my sibling but parents love is given equally. And maybe you can ask your parents about this issue. Just know that parents doesn't favor one child, it favors none. :) Good luck and Good day!

For parents all their children are equally same, it's possible they consider one of them more mature and don't express the same amount of love.

reach out to your parents talk to them about it. a parents love is unconditional fr their child maybe you are perceiving things differently because you dont get as much attention it can be hard balancing more than one child it doesnt mean they love you any less or prefer them over you or you over them

That is how you are thinking. It might be wrong. In your parents eyes, every child of them have equal value. try to love them more, no matter what.
