I hate how my parents favor my sister over me. Anyone else feel they are the least favored one?

I mean it would have been OK if I didn’t notice or my mother didn’t make it so obvious that she was the most favored, but the signs are so clear to me. I feel like I’m always in competition with my sister and having to prove myself always to my mother. My mother always expects so much of me saying why can’t you be more responsible and successful like your sister and it really gets to me. I have even become so jealous of my sister and her achievements because of my mother always comparing me with her and giving her so much attention. I always get yelled at when my mother comes home from work. She yells at me because of all her worries and stresses at work. But why doesn’t she yell at my sister? She calls me stupid, dumb, a failure which emotionally really gets to me because all I want is for her to be proud of me. I am always the one having to clean the house and my sister doesn’t f***in do anything. And my sister just uses things I’ve just cleaned and makes them dirty because she doesn’t respect the things I do for her. Because my sister is doing so well at school, my mother always blames me for things and yells at me all the time.

The rest of my family are the same. I’ve heard my Aunty slag me off before saying sh*t behind my back when with my sister but when I’m with my Aunty she talks my sister up saying how well she has done and blah blah blah.

I don’t know what to do. How can I become at least liked by my family?

I don’t even think they care about me at all.
