Have you ever felt moments when you thought your parents/family members didn't love you as much as you thought? Or didn't care about you much as your other siblings?
I've had moments like that from time to time even though I know that they love me. It's just in how they show it. I'm actually pretty sensitive when it comes to feelings so sometimes when I see that my parents, for example, give something or offer something to my sibling but not to me, it kind of hurts. I mean, I know they love me and all, but it's just sometimes I feel like they don't show it as much as I'd like them to.
Have you ever felt that way before?

Yeaa I know how you feel, I also get that feeling sometimes. Thinking about it later, I know that they love me and they didn't mean anything by treating my brother a little better but during the moment, I can't help feeling a little hurt. I try to remind myself that my brother is younger than me and that of course they're gonna treat him a little bit more special than me. Also, I sometimes get treated better too, so I try to think of those times. Plus, I think of the four years I had them all to myself before he was born, he always had to share them with me, so maybe it's ok if he gets treated a little better sometimes.

Yeah, I try to remind myself that they don't really mean much by treating my brother better but just like you, I can't really help how I feel during those moments. I know they love me and all, but I still get hurt. I guess when I think about it some more, I've had about 8 and half years with my parents alone without anybody else so I guess that's not bad. And I do get treated better sometimes, being the older one and all. Thank you for sharing =D
