i have an elder brother and my parents seem extremely biased towards him. i know they love me but it also hurts because he’s always on their good side whereas I feel like an incompetent idiot
I think you should stop comparing yourself with your brother and the bonds your parents share w the two of you. You can do anything about the fact that he’s on the good side, but you can do about yourself. Just let it be and realise that you have two different lives. Just keep making them proud and I’m sure you’ll do it. Don’t waste your time for stressing yourself for this. However if the situation is too extreme, you can actually address this to them. I know it sounds scary but maybe they don’t realise and it’s always better to communicate. Good luck!
i have tried talking to them but they bring up a mistake I made in the past which now has started to emotionally trigger me because of how much they bring it up. but thank you
Well in that scenario, just focus on yourself. And please whatever has happened in the past, if it triggers them we can’t do anything about it. But we can surely make sure that it does trigger us. So accept whatever happened and don’t let that affect you. More power to you!
I do feel the same now i can’t even trust my parents

Hi!
Would you like to explain through an example or give a just when these patterns appear?
Sometimes the case is, in a sibling relationship, one parent likes one child more than the other and it happens with me too and that’s fine. Small fights or biasedness takes place and we think that way but for parents both are equal. 😀
