A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My older sister is a complete b****. I'm not a very sociable person. I find it difficult to mingle with new people. I'm not an introvert, but making new friends is not something that is easy for me to do. My sister always teases me about this. She constantly tells me that I have no social life and very few friends. She always goes out, and before she does she would imply or directly comment that she has lots of friends and a boyfriend, and that I have no one. This hurts me alot. We use to be close growing up. We were on the same netball team and took dance classes together. But in the last couple of years, she has been a real B**** to me. She cares more about her boyfriend and friends than she does about her family. She spends so much time with them it hurts me. How can I make things go back to the way they use to be? And should I? How can I learn to make friends without being so shy and nervous?

GrimmReality agony auntWell,

You can always give her a good smack in the mouth...LOL..JUST KIDDING!!! young lady. please don't do that.

I do understand though. I had two older sisters that absolutely tormented the dogcrap out of me in high school, and I myself was pretty much a loner during those years. It didn't matter to them what it was from a bad haircut to the way I looked at them, I was simply cannon fodder for my older sisters torture. Its part of having brothers or sisters I guess, lol.

Just remember that she is your sister, and their is at your ages (and all ages for that matter) a form of sibling rivalry. As hard as it is to have to hear it from her, it will pass. If you try to not react to it, hopefully the momentary sense of superiority she feels will lose its luster, because its not really any fun to tease someone unless they react to it.

This will pass.

As for your shyness,the only advice I can give you is what I have learned( for better or worse...lol) is to just be yourself. It sounds corny I know, but in the long run its the best policy.
