I love my older brother, so much. He also makes me feel so small whenever he visits. We both came from the same awkward, overly-sheltered household with a simultaneously overbearing and neglectful mother who then abandoned us, but he's completely turned everything around to where he's confident, popular, well-groomed, well-paid, holidays regularly and is just an all-round success.

I am so proud of him. I also feel incredibly ridiculously inferior and lesser next to him. My late dad always praised him up as "the smart one" and the one that had everything together. I'm 34 and have only just got my degree, which my dad didn't get to see. I love my brother and I know that sibling rivalry will always be a thing, but I feel such an incredible sense of smallness next to him that I thought I'd grow out of. I know it's dumb, but there is a part of my that is so, so jealous of how well he's done.

I'm a shit.

That's tough, nonny. It's normal to feel that way. Especially if it's a message you got from a parent. I think my younger sibling has similar feelings towards me sometimes. Growing up in a weird family dynamic can make it tricky to build a good friendship as adult siblings, and it's normal that childhood insecurities keep coming up around a family member. Idk, for your sake I hope you can find some peace of mind and not compare yourself to him so harshly, since it sounds like you are succeeding in things that are important to you like getting your degree. But I don't think it's at all dumb or shitty to have feelings like that.
