Would You Be Annoyed If Your Younger Sibling Is Smarter Than You? How Do You Deal With Them Without Showing Annoyance?

This is an example, although my brother is smarter than me

I doodled Marilyn Monroe on my thigh

I think me and my sister is a balance, she is the brain and i'm the muscle... it's not that i'm stupid. We're just good at different subject. And I prefer outdoor activities like sports more and i think it's a good thing.

She probably only annoyed when she talk to me to discuss somethings i usually didn't get it. But when it's with her friends i do understand.

Don't blame me, she is explain things like a professor in college classes.

Actually I am the younger sibling and I'm the smarter sibling. I remember one time I was in 5th grade and my brother was in 8th. He asked for help on his homework 😑 I mean I helped him and he got a 95.

My younger sister of two years is smarter than me, intellectual wise. So like, in school, she'd always get higher grades than I did and our parents would put her as the role model sibling. It used to bother me before, but not anymore.

Just settle out your differences and focus on what YOU'RE good at. Everyone's got their own strengths and weaknesses so just focus on what you're good at and they aren't as much.

I was the "smarter" younger sibling. It sucked cause I liked my sister a lot when we were little. I didn't realize until she started getting mad that I got the same or better scores as her that she really thought I was stupid the whole time. Because as soon as she wasn't smarter than me she thought that meant she was stupid.

My younger brother has a PhD in green energy sustainability and spends his days as a beggar for corporate welfare, I am in no danger of him ever being smarter than me🤣

[Blackcosmo]

Honestly yes. I was born a good amount of time before them and if they're smarter than me it would show I'm incompetent and lazy. Well at least for me anyway.

[Avicenna]

My younger sister is more book smart than me, but I don’t see why that should bother me. I’m proud of her.

[Jamie05rhs]

Well, they're not, fortunately lol.
But both of my older sisters ARE smarter than me.

[NathanDavis]

nope... I'm not this kind of insecure nor self-defeating

[NathanDavis]

and I am glad it wasn't the case... because as a kid I got a lot of "hate" from crazy parents that were all kinds of upset and angry at me being "smarter" than their children... which is part of why I refused to go to a new school for "advanced students" or to get into a different program within my own school

jealousy and envy are just awful things to experience from either side

[Wubs3000]

if someone told me they were yandare for me I would laugh then depending on how well I know them run

[the_sinner]

No I’d rather be happy for them. My life would be meaningless if I start such comparisons.

[altaboy]

I am very proud of my sister's accomplishments. I don't think she's smarter than I am, but she is more focused.

[vald9inches]

I just be proud of them! Lol but honestly everyone is smart in their own way so things like that don't bother me as much

[anton_dee]

Every human is good at something. Tap that skill, enhance it and excel in it. Don't let disappointment or their negative things get you down

[pizzalovershouse]

No but I say just cuz your IQ is higher doesn't mean you have to be mean

[Deathraider]

Nah. I mean there’s always going to be something I don’t know.

[Juxtapose]

I barely talk to my sister so I wouldn't really give a fuck.

[Rosa2008]

Luckily not have younger siblings but definitely would be annoyed.

[Wise4myage]

Id use that to motivate myself.

[Msputiton]

Naw, i would be proud of him

[Chazmatazz269]

You should be happy for them!

[Luopio27]

How do you define smart?

[call_me_scar]

Probably not

[shortster]

Not at all.
