What can I do to make my sister like me?

it’s an age thing. it’ll pass. try to have your own friends and stay out of each other’s hair for now. give it a few years.

Give to receive.

When I saw the title I thought this was some sort of incest…

@trailsillustrated see i thought that too, but its beeen like this for as long as I can remember.
and
@Samurai no incest here!

Is she your younger, or older sister?

So you never did anything to her to cause this? if you didn’t she is most likely jealous of you for some reason. It’ll go away once she stops being a child.

incest is the best so put your sister to the test?

I doubt that it has anything to do with you. She is probably pissed about something else in her life and is taking it out on you because you are an easy target. It is a way of venting for her. I’m sure she thinks it is really you because she doesn’t want to deal with the reality of what is bothering her. If this is indeed the case, and many times it is, then you can’t do anything unless you know what the cause of her frustrations is. Just realize it has nothing to do with you and avoid her when possible. You can still give love even though you aren’t receiving it. Hugs.

@holden she is older.

@MrGeneVan 94.3% of the time no. she jsut doesnt like me.

I was totally tortured by my sister until we were about 15. give it time, and stay away for now. have your own friends. don’t show that it bothers you.

@uberbatman ummm, I dont think soo?

@RedPowerLady Thank you very much.

seriously, it’s not personal. it’s not about you, but it hurts very much. just stay away from her don’t let her see it bothers you. it’ll pass, really

@trailsillustrated well she is 16 and im 14, so maybe soon something will happen, and if not, only one more school year til she goes to college.

Then it narrows it down…..if you don’t defend yourself and be more assertive she will always treat you like this. It’s survival of the fittest with sisters.

she’s an ass. just stay away from her for now. she’ll get over it when she’s 17

@Rayvin14 fair enough.

Its because of your age. Me and my sister used to fight really really bad until around the time i turned 19. Since then we’ve been good friends.

@Rayvin14 A lot of times these things resolve themself when someone goes off to college. This is because they are no longer confined in the household with family so they have the time to think of family members as actual people vs. “just family”. A lot of relationships between parents and children improve when the child goes off to college for this reason. Hopefully it works among siblings as well.

I’d just save the drama. If she starts something, don’t start something back. She pulls a knife, you pull out a sandwich. She pulls out some kind of gun sandwich, you pull out some kind of inner harmony cake.

That’s how siblings work, right?

@MrGeneVan she plays mind games, and she can really fight back, so i try not to make it physical, and just take whatever hurtful things she says. She always has something else to say back, so I never win.

just be the bigger person.

@aphilotus now I understand the relationship you have with your sister…

@aphilotus right!

Thanks Everyone!
:)

I agree with MrGeneVan – (how do you do that @ linky thing?)

I have a cousin who is 3 years older than me. Throughout our childhood, she always treated me like crap, made fun of me. I honestly thought that she just didn’t like me. I didn’t find out until a few years ago that she was just jealous the whole time. She thought I was cuter than her and resented me for coming along and taking all the attention from the adults.

@bagelface Place an @, no space, before the user’s name.

@Beta_Orionis orly?

hey what do you know! thanks!

She sounds like she needs to grow the hell up. Sorry you have to put up with that.

@bagelface: That’s silly, you obviously have a bagel face.~

Win or lose it doesn’t matter at least you are not showing any signs of weakness; you still have to be assertive. If you continue to just bottle it in nothing will ever happen.

@asmonet You should see what she’s got for a face,..

Ba dum bum psssshhhhh.

Ignore her. Don’t give her the satisfaction of being hurt by her, don’t respond to her, don’t bother to be nice to her when she’s mean to you. Don’t be a doormat.

There’s nothing you can do to to “make” her like you. She has some growing up to do and then she’ll value having a sister more.

It sounds like sibling rivalry to me. She is jealous of the time you took from her mother and father—not now but when you were born. It’s a hard thing to get over for her, but eventually when she grows up, she will get over it.
She does love you, but can’t get over the loss of her position in the world—and has no one to blame about that but you.

For now, what I would recommend is trying to stay out of her way, have your own friends, your own world.

Eventually, she will begin to look at you with new eyes—and then you can be the best of friends.

Umm hmmm let’s see if I were u I would bribe her with money !!! I’m an only child but if I had a brother I would want money (a girls best friend)
