Is this normal or am I overthinking?

[ivise]

hey. So basically when I talk about certain people, situations and things that has happened to me. My close relative always seems to respond to our convos like -oh no that didn’t happen to me bla bla . We are diff . We always do that instead . Also always trying to bring something that Shea heard first before me .It’s giving a bit of a bad vibe .For example like those things doesn’t happen to her ,or she is always ahead of me knowing smth I don’t know . It’s just bizarre. If I am talking about smth I don’t want you to tell me always that your situation is better . Am I overthinking?

Not sure I follow this.

I couldn’t understand it either 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Who is Shea? Is that your relative?

I get you, OP. She seems to be saying she’s too good to let those things happen to her.

My advice would be to stop sharing things that she can feel superior about.

Talk about all the things that you do or that happen to you that are great.

Shea is a typo for ‘she’.

Oh. Here it's a name.

Are you AI? Or a chatbot @victoriaemmy68

I'm not trying to say that anything did or didn't happen. Just that it is totally unclear what actually happened.

it sounds like she’s one of those people who have done the same as you, but better.
eg if you’ve been to Tenerife, she’s been to Elevenerife.
if you were burgled, she’d have the highest spec security cameras, so it would never happen to her.
Its not normal, but some people do it.

I've always called this 'elephants and boxes', ie: if you had an elephant they would have a box big enough to put it in! Some people are just like this. It's a form of insecurity . My first MIL was gold medal standard for being like this. I learned to ignore it and have a private chuckle!

It's not, here!

Think this hits the nail on the head and is good advice
