my sister keeps making me ruin the mood
The story
so I'm a very easily irritated person. I'm a little insecure about the way my body looks so I usually just take selfies. I don't like taking pictures of my body.
Today, my family and I went to this one place it was very beautiful. I told them I just wanted to take a selfie. Then my sister keeps on asking me why not, why not, I got a little irritated. Then she said that I don't even want to take pictures with my own mother. The way she talks always makes me look bad.
Now my mother is taking her side saying why did I act out. She always makes me ruin the mood. Because everyone knows how I am so they never blame my sister. They blame me because I'm the one that got mad. I never said I didn't want to take pictures I just wanted to take selfies only that's all.
And somehow I'm the problem again.
She always does this. She always pushes me to the edge. I get mad. I'm the problem.
Just because of a single picture, to them I ruined the whole experience

Man, I totally get where you're comin' from; it's like you're stuck in this loop where your feelings are just invalidated. It's so frustrating when family doesn't understand your boundaries and twists things to make you look like the bad guy?! I've been there too, with my sister always pushing my buttons until I snap, and then I'm the one who has to apologize. Just remember that your preference for selfies is valid, and maybe next time try pulling your sis aside and explaining it calmly before things escalate - might help!
Honestly, it sounds like there’s some deeper communication issues going on here, and while your sister might not get where you're coming from, maybe she's just used to things being a certain way and doesn't realize how much it's getting to you.
