How to deal with an immature uncle?

[lovelycara]

I'm in my 20's and my uncle in law is in his 60's. He's retired. My mom and I live with him. He always compares himself to me. He likes to bluff a lot, he says that he can do things better but he's actually a wuss. Everything that I do he always has to say that he's better than me, then starts laughing. He studies me and keeps an eye on everything I do, always trying to find my weak points. Basically he's not happy every time I accomplish something. He acts like this when there are other family members around, but when it's just me and him he tries to be nice and sweet talks.

I don't understand why he has to compare himself to me and always have to say that he's better. Why does he watch my every move, and try to find my weak points? Why is he targeting me at all?

The way to deal with people like this is pretend like you’re listening but you’re not. Some people just have a lot of things to learn still, even if they’re in their 60s.

How do you deal with him? Move out of his house and stand in your own two feet

Everyone has a relative like that. It's not your job to turn him into a man.
