    Has… he seen the job market? A very hurtful and clueless thing for him to say. Very boomer.

    And yes mental health struggles make life a lot harder. Not everyone can be a machine. Those expectations are pretty high, I’d even say unrealistic, and I think your sister might even secretly be feeling the high pressure job. If not now then at some point. If anything else happens to add a strain to life that pace might not be sustainable.

    Comparing you to a sibling is also not appropriate to do.

    Edit: In a small way I was the tough disciplined organised one that others got compared to… because I was so desperately holding it together under pressure. Burned out hard. They’re doing well now and me not so much.

    Comparison hurts both sides
