How would you Handle a Sibling who is Snotty Nosed and Resentful and Or Jealous?
Not sure how useful my opinion would be here, but I will try my best.
However, whence dealing with a significant other e. g. business partner, romantic partner, family member, etc. if there is a conflict and you have tried to resolve it a few times diplomatically (up to the people involved what diplomatically implies), it’s best to distance yourself (if possible).
What regards narcissistic tendencies and narcissism is a very complex matter, since according to some sources it is very deeply rooted and one often has not processed a or several traumatic experience (s) in a healthy manner. This often leads to a fight or flight mode and the person becoming very defensive about anything. Neurologically speaking the connection between the pre-frontal cortex and the amygdala experiences a massive slow down or is completely overwhelmed with the emotions and events of a given traumatic experience.
Keep in mind, we don’t all process information and emotions in the same exact manner.
I am a physics student, thus my insight is very limited and lacks the necessary depth to form a well structured opinion.
It would be interesting to hear other’s thoughts on this particular matter.

This is a though one. I honestly have to say i have no clue how to solve a matter like that. It is sad that it happens. Siblings should stick together no matter what...

I wouldn't have to handle her at all. She wouldn't be in my life and when she's there at family affairs she'd have no more interaction from me than the coat rack.

Well with my slightly young brother, I would just beat him up a bit (typical brotherly love) to scare him, yk, assert dominance. Then the next day we’re the best of friends. You gotta make it so the sibling conforms to you, not try to get you to conform to them
-
First I’ll try to help them be better than they currently are so they can stop feeling like a good-for-nothing dementia Douche bag who no loves. If they are too resistant and actually want to sit in the puddle of piss they are then I’ll just roast and hopefully that will talk some sense into their noggin.

I would just simply ask her/him to grow-up! It may have been something they could get away with when they were 10, but, there suppose to be an adult now - act like it.
-
My sister never cared about me much and I don't care about her anymore either. I don't know if that's better or worse than what you're describing. We don't have any contact basically.

See, I have a younger brother not related tho he is also the same except the respectful part so whenever he says something bad about me I tell him about an embarassing memory of him that I found some time ago that I would say to everyone if he does anything with my things... So yeah now he does everything in front of me carefully 🫠

I would simply do whatever I could to exclude that sibling from having any involvement in my life.

um... boundaries, acceptance of whom she is, distance?
not gonna change her... not anytime soon.
Ignore them and avoid them. That works well.
-
Be very hands off
and set boundaries
She needs to know her behavior is unacceptable
it may be hard because you love her but you’re going to need to be cold

After my bitch of an older sister cheated and dumped her ex boyfriend who was a great guy and was always good to me growing up I eventually married and had his kids.

If they are not willing to talk it out then I guess you just give them space and maybe they will talk to you one day

If she really has narcissistic personality disorder there's not much you can do.

Ignore them and treat them the same way they treat me.

Thankfully, me and my siblings get along and we support each other. If this is your case, I would suggest cut contact with them.

Depends on how old we were. If my mom couldn’t do anything about it, I’d probably tell white lies like not having time to be around them.
-
Try talking to her, on multiple different occasions. And if that fails, exclude her from anything important in yur life and just try to move on
-
I would pray for them and ask God for the strength to be a good example to them.
-
From what I learned, I’m a step-sister n my step siblings can get like that, is to love them from a distance. Understand that they are fighting with their own demons.
