Let her be an idiot, or tell her off if she brings it up with you. The truth hurts

bottom line, she has self esteem issues and trys to make herself feel better by be-littling everyone she sees.

I don't see how this makes her a point of sale, unless she's on the corner a few nights a week...

hmmm, can't get rid of the image of a 25 year old woman spending the last 10 years of her life slaving away through the night with a candle and an algebra II book.

Yup, she has a self esteem issue. If she doens't grow up soon, she is going to wind up used and abused. :(

You need to tell her straight up, and if she can't handle it, tough. Your parents need to cut her off. Why are the medical bills going to her folks? It is for her benefit as well as your families that you draw a hard line in the sand with her. She will either have to change or fail at life. Tough love.

she has been trying to learn algebra 2 since 10th grade. she is now almost 25 and is still a complete and total math moron. today, however, i get an email, addressed to the entire family, that math is easy and anyone who is taught it can learn it at any level.

i am an electrical engineering major, so obviously there is a lot of math in most of what i do. she is constantly finding ways to tell me and everyone else how stupid i am. today was just too much, though. i died laughing when i got that email because of the complete overload of irony. i never respond simply because i can be the bigger person, but this one was just too funny.

most people could learn a fair amount of complex math if they are taught it well enough. im not here to deny that, but not everyone is gifted in math and science and that is pretty clear. it would be just as difficult for me to learn how to sing or paint as it would for most artists or singers to learn partial differential equations.

Sounds like ultra-low self-esteem.

You're right when you say your rant sucks, because it does. There is no punchline or funny moment, other than the fact that your sister sounds retarded and seems to have low self-esteem. =P

I have a very close friend that is exactly this way. He is a smart guy though (not in math <he is terrible at math> ), but in trivia and a few other things, he knows his stuff. But he has severe self-esteem problems, which can get annoying at times. I think he has started to grow out of that phase though. He recently moved out of his folks house, and I think that helped out a lot.

To be honest, i would ilke to see how she looks since you said she is always saying things about everyone else.

MrDudeMan,

My condolensces. What's the saying?..."You can choose your friends but NOT your family"...

Be above it and avoid her when you can. Her insecurities and jealousies shows immaturity.

Just coach your Mom to not foot any of her personal bills due to her selfish, irresponsible behaviors...

Also sad that the OP sees no parallel between his sisters behavior and his post.

you are right. i see no parallel. ive done all i can possibly do to remedy this problem or reconcile the relationship. i am simply venting since if i ever bring this up to her it is instant arguement and sometimes it helps to put it into words instead of thinking it.

mosh, yes, it is sad that i feel ok with saying she is a POS, but she really is. id go as far as to say i wish she wasnt part of my family. i have no good memories of her. not a single one. when i needed a ride to any type of practice in high school, the answer was either no or she made me feel like an idiot for even asking. in 7-10th grade that hurts coming from someone you should be able to look up to.

everyone else, try to understand what im saying...she is actually impossible to start a normal conversation with. if you approach her and say there is something youd like to discuss as calmy as possible, it is instantly an arguement and you are stupid, have no idea what you are talking about, etc. etc. etc.

every email she sends is filled with "hahaha" or "hehehe" or any derivation of a smiley face right after a rude comment like "you think you know everything, but you are really just a stupid, immature little prick. hahahah =)"

and finally, joe monkey, she may work corners now and then...maybe not literally, but it wouldnt surprise me if shes been around. she flew to europe just to meet a guy she met on the internet. keep in mind this was a few months ago...not before her current long term relationship.

she is currently in her 8th year of a 2 year degree, yet she calls me lazy and stupid because im going to graduate a semester late, which isnt even my fault...a class i need wasnt offered last spring so it pushed some other classes back.

my parents have finally realized she was using them and being selfish, so most of the support has been cut off.
