I understand about the sibling situation. Mine was the golden child and I was not to put it mildly.
You can only compare yourself to who you were yesterday. I think that's the way it works best.
I guess that makes us the silver children then. And I personally like silver better than gold ๐
I absolutely agree. Am trying not to compare myself.
I'm a participation trophy lol
Me too
In high school, I came last in a walking event, but I got a first place ribbon, because I was the only girl in my house group who did the event.
I never compared myself. What I did was let family members define me ( and it was never nice ) I listened to them because I trusted them like family.
it took me a long time to figure out to trust myself and not them.
Bronze child checking in!
