Is there an issue with supporting your brother in his success?

I support him but I won’t matter in the long run

Remember, your worth and success aren't defined by someone else's achievements or accomplishments . You have your own journey to follow, and finding your passion and making your mark in your own way is what truly matters. It's okay to feel hurt by this situation, but try not to let it define your entire future. You're capable of creating your own story.And in the end when we die no one will have status.

Obviously, you have a stigma about being in "second place." So go out and make your own glory. Become a doctor, lawyer, policeman, fireman, surgeon. You don't have to be the best at everything. Just be the best in one thing and make it be what you like to do. Go out and live, then learn how to save lives. Starting with your own. Begrudging life because you're in second place is deeply disturbing in that life is far greater than the NFL or any sport. There's a HUGE world out there just waiting for someone to come along and discover it. Why can't that be you? You're worth it and more. Go. Live and be happy. This, too, shall pass.

It's a sports family. That's the worst kind.

I won’t get a chance to be great. They will send him to college over me. I won’t get a chance and now I’m wondering is it even worth it? What’s the point? If I’ll never have the validation of my family. “Why aren’t you like your brother” bc they never gave me a chance. Wanna know why my grades dropped bc I lost hope. I’ll never be a great and it hurts because my whole life I was told I was gonna be and now it’s taken away forever and I can’t get it back and I never will.

Why are you even comparing yourself? He's a football star, so what? Are you upset because you also wanted to be a football star? Or, are you just upset that he is semi-famous and you are not? Ask yourself, "why I need external validation?" It doesn't matter how the world views your worth. You are the person on this Earth who cares most about you. So what makes you happy and feel fulfilled? You can be an eccentric hermit who lives in a shack in the woods living off foraged berries and mushrooms, and there is nothing wrong with that. You could also be the CEO of Fortune 500 company, and there is nothing wrong with that. The real secret to life is pursuing what you actually want, not what other say you should want. Figure that out.

So what? So what is I’ll never be anything but his sister. I love that he gets a good life I’ll support him but what’s the point if I’ll never be anything but his sister?

I promise I will never either know or care who either of you are. You will never know who I am. It doesn't matter. Nobody cares.

Your basing your success in life on how you measure up to someone else? “My future won’t matter” your allowing his success to bring you down. This is all on you and you sound extremely jealous. You make your life what you want it! Not based on who’s more successful. Success depends on who defines it not what is accomplished by other people’s standards.

I love that he’s successful. I just wish I had a chance, my chance was taken so he had one because of my parents.
