My older cousin (uncle’s daughter on my mom’s side) is getting married and I’m happy for her but my mom is making me super upset every time she talks about the wedding. I know I shouldn’t feel this way but every time my mom brings it up I feel like crying

because my mom acts like my cousin is the most perfect person in the world. I know she’s prettier than me and also quite smart and she outgoing and skinny and my mom has never had a bad thing to say about her, but whenever I do something my mom always has something to say or some kind of criticism. Even worse, my mom keeps saying that her first daughter is getting married over and over again and it making me feel like shit because then what am I?? Chopped liver??

And I can’t bring this up with my mom because she’ll just get defensive and I know it’s not right to be upset with my cousin for something she doesn’t even know is happening but it really makes me hate her sometimes

It makes me feel like I’ve fallen behind or lost somehow even though my cousin is 23, ready to get married and become a housewife and I’m only 19 not wanting to be married any time soon and on a pre-med track. We’re completely different people with different goals but I still feel like I’ve lost to her
