Feeling Outnumbered and Left Out

Anonymous Guilty Wallflower #214 · General

Ever since my little sister joined our family, I feel like no one really listens to me anymore. It's not that I'm jealous or anything, she's just so cute and funny! But every time we have a conversation, it seems everyone is more focused on her. I mean, why does she get all the attention with those sweet stories about how she saved a kitten? What am I supposed to talk about after hearing that? Am I being too dramatic or should I tell them I feel ignored? Is it just me or do families naturally shift gears when a new member comes in?
