really long rant
The story
hello I'm just here to rant honestly, lately I've been feeling like I wasn't as loved as my siblings...? maybe its only a matter of POV but after hearing things of their childhoods and witnessing my younger sibling's it feels like I was never treated like that, I'm a middle middle child if that helps.
All of them has at least one picture up on our wall and I don't have one that was really specifically just me apparently they lost all my childhood photos but still has my older sibling's?? I know it's stupid im already in my late teens and jealousy is eating me up, they're all talented and smart at whatever they do too, I have multiple hobbies but I wasn't exactly that great at all of them and it just made me feel even worse.
I used to be able to hold in my feelings and emotions but as I grew older I just became more sensitive and everyone noticed, I feel like im just wasting their time and all, they've always been disinterested in me anyways.
I've always found my gifts for them (flowers i found, drawings, origami) in the trash, and it really confused me to see that they still have my sibling's art even if it's just one, was i really that bad? I used to wish i got hit by a car or get sick so they can actually pay attention to me i believe the earliest was by age 6, I can't even communicate with them properly now, I just want myself to be acknowledged not just the lazy, moody, sensitive kid they have including everything I do, I've always pushed myself to atleast have a talent im good at, I've joined many clubs and activities but that's not enough I guess. I've sacrificed sleep for tests to get scores they'd be proud of, nothing.
i think I'm just stupid at this point.
My sibling's felt similarly to what I've felt but it really didn't look that way honestly :( maybe it's just me I'm not sure.
I've been compared to my siblings ever since i grew up by alot of people. i only realized now how lonely i felt as a kid, I never had anyone that close back then and I was just the annoying noisy younger sibling towards my family and distant relatives that are close in age.
I hate whenever they tell me I'm talentless compared to my siblings, they sugarcoat it but I know. They love me, but sometimes I feel like I don't know them and they don't know me.
Sometimes I wish I can have a long deep sleep and forget about everything.

Also they've never noticed I do SH even though I never covered it up or bothered to hide it lmao 😂
yo, i totally feel you on this 😔 being stuck in the middle is tough and honestly, your feelings are totally valid; it's frustrating when you push so hard for recognition but it seems like no one notices…
damn, i totally get where you're coming from, it sounds like a rough ride feeling so overlooked'; it's kind of wild how sometimes parents or family can unintentionally make you feel like the odd one out just by not being as attentive or mindful of your efforts; have you ever tried talking to them about how you've been feeling? maybe there's room for change if they're aware? sometimes people don't realize the impact they're having until it's pointed out to them. keep in mind though, self-worth shouldn't solely rely on external validation, even if it feels essential at times; finding something that truly brings you happiness could be a game changer for your peace and confidence.
