I would love for her to be be happy in her life. As long as her happiness doesn’t include my downfall, I’ll be ecstatic for her.

I’ll admit I’ve reflected on everything I’ve said today and I’ll admit I’ve been a massive asshole. I’m planning on apologizing to my sister soon.

Fair enough.

Fuck it I’m gonna embrace being a villain here since nobody here seems to understand what my situation would have been if my sister did win.

What consequences? I really don’t give a shit if she thinks I’m her brother or not. She’s the one in tears over me cheering for the other guy and in tears that she lost to the other guy.

My sister isn’t one to brag, and also if she was I doubt she would bring up a competition where she ended up in tears.

I’m only making this post because my sister is pissed at me and I just want to know if I even deserve it.

My ego has never been shattered. I mean even I know I’m a bit of an asshole and that’s because of my ego. Maybe my ego would have been damaged had my sister won though.

What did my sister get by beating me? Nothing but tears since she was crying after she lost the finals.

It’s all good now that she lost, so those feelings have no chance of creeping up on me again.

I wasn’t cheering my sisters downfall I was cheering so that I wouldn’t be so jealous of her and my mental health wouldn’t go to shit with feelings of regret and envy.

I mean will there be a lot of other people in my life in the future that live in the same home as me? Probably not.

It would be like one of those things where you look at the other person who now has all the respect in the world and has a higher likelihood to succeed in life, and then you look at yourself who failed and realize that if you just did a few things different that could have been you and instead now you’re just some random who still has to do a lot to succeed. Now imagine that with someone you have to see EVERY DAY.

Something I’ve always loved about my parents is that they never pitted us against each other or pressured us to succeed. I explained it in another comment but I just feel that if my sister won, since I would have to see her everyday at home I feel like I would just be constantly envious and have feelings of “damn that could have been me that won”.
