I don’t know how much of this falls under anxiety, but I’m sure it’s my anxiety that’s a lot of the cause. I just feel like sometimes I’m really happy with the person I am, and feel great about myself, but sometimes this stops when I’m home with my sister. Like on the winter break right now. She’s two years younger than me, and while I wasn’t unpopular in high school at all, she was very popular for her grade. She has a great boyfriend, more great friends in university...there’s a lot of things I could name but I feel like when she’s around, I just feel like I’m suddenly not good enough. I don’t think it helps that I feel she believes that she has it all (or maybe this is just my anxiety telling me this).

I’m happy with who I am, but when she’s going out with friends constantly and she’s very pretty too, I can’t help but feel bad about myself. Any advice?
