Do you find that people would prefer your siblings than you?

I overheard a "friend" saying how she prefers my little sister than me, because my sister is a bubbly, happy person, while I am a weird, boring, annoying person.

You don't know how much that upset me.

Have you been in that same situation, where people loved the rest of your family more than you?

you betcha. sister was much more popular. thought up lots of potential reasons, but basically, it was asperger's.

my oldest brother and older sister are way more popular than me. btw they both are "aspie lite"

My brother was less socially awkward from high school onward, but he was also six four. I'm five six. I don't have that "dude, you screw with me and I'll toss you out the window" thing going for me. My little brother has full-blown autism, and for some reason people seem to like him better.

So the least functioning of us is the most well-liked. Huh.

I had that happen a lot with my cousins - they always seemed to prefer my brother and sister over me, but I think that may have had more to do with the fact that I'm the oldest, and my siblings are much closer in age to them.

My younger sister was my guardian throughout middle-school bullying.

Though, I was fine in high-school, all my anti-bullying fighting somehow got my positively labeled in high-school. "Don't mess with him....." kind of remarks. I never ended up proving the labled violence on me, because I was left alone. So, without being bullied I got around very well with people; probably had acquaintances from every circle/clique.

Everybody preferred my sister to me, when I was growing up. She was the feminine and bubbly one and I was the tomboy. Those girls were also closer to my sister's age.

Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I was always known as "Ashley's sister" or "James's sister" almost never as myself until high school when we moved somewhere where the people who knew me didn't know my sister or brother and therefore had nothing to compare.
