My sister has low self esteem just as much as I do but because she believes I’m “more attractive” than her I’m not entitled to feel the way that I do. She says I have “pretty privilege” so I’ll never understand where she’s coming from. Okay….

Like I understand her to an extent. I’m not trying to invalidate her experiences but she acts like I’m not allowed to hate myself whatsoever - or participate in any form of self loathing.

For a very long time I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror without feeling nauseous. I got a BBL which had everything to do with my low self esteem as much as I hate to admit it. It’s just frustrating. Sorry for rant ://

Thank you :/ most of time I apologize to her when we have these discussions but a lot of the time it’s to avoid her blowing up at me

Sorry I had a whole thing written and never posted it 😭 The gist was that you’re allowed to have your own emotions. Someone having it worse (which is also debatable in this case, bc how do you qualify worse) doesn’t mean you can’t also suffer or feel like shit or have issues. And that shouldn’t be brushed off, that’s just rude. Like I wouldn’t do that to someone If someone one slept two hours and someone else slept three, three is still allowed to complain that they didn’t sleep!!

Brushing off your emotions like that is stupid
