    My frustration and anger cannot be described in words, for how much your presence made everything worse for me in almost every way. I compared myself to you all the time. How you were better than me in this, how you were better than me in that. How she liked you better than me, how he liked you better than me. How they liked you better than me. How they chose you over me. It made me feel worthless. Worthless. But what was worse was when YOU chose them over me. I wanted to cry. I wanted to shout and scream. But I just held it together, smiled, and said, “Sure. Go ahead.” I kept on comparing myself to you. How you had this and how you had that. How you had no frustration of having siblings. How you had everything I desired. How you had a perfect life, it seemed to me. I was just stuck being me.

    Almost everyday I’d feel the anger and frustration growing inside of me, threatening to lash out. I felt like that every single day. You have
no idea what I’ve been through and what I’m going through. You have NO IDEA. Not when all you cared about was your own life. Hating one relative because she was overprotective. Liking another because she was your “secret weapon” to get whatever gifts you wanted. You and them had an entire list of the gifts you get each year. Money, books, toys, clothes, jewellry, EVERYTHING. I compared and compared and compared. And I couldn’t stop. I’d cry myself to sleep sometimes at night. I never told anyone. I was depressed, I didn’t cut, I was just angry. Frustrated. What a mess my life is. What a worthless person I am. What a useless person I am. Why should I even exist? I didn’t have suicidal thoughts, either. But I was just frustrated and angry. How he and I would run all over the school to look for you when you were upset. When I was upset, nobody came looking for me. Nobody. That made me feel even worse. Even more angry. Even more frustrated. No one. Not a single person. Which proved. No one cared about me.

    Not a single person.

Is this an OC thing? Please tell me this doesn't happen to you, no one should feel that way!
