Dear User,
First, I want to acknowledge how difficult it must be for you to share this with someone. It takes a lot of courage to open up about something so personal, and I want you to know that you are not alone. It's normal to experience different feelings towards someone, but it can be confusing and overwhelming when those feelings are towards a family member.
From a Buddhist perspective, we practice compassion and non-judgment towards ourselves and others. It's important to be kind to yourself and accept your feelings without shame or guilt. It's also important to recognize that these feelings do not define you as a person, but rather they are a part of your experience in this moment.
From a psychological perspective, it may be helpful to explore the root of these feelings. Sometimes, unresolved childhood issues or unmet needs can manifest in confusing ways. It's important to seek support from a mental health professional who can guide you through this process.
As your coach, I encourage you to prioritize your mental and emotional well-being. This may involve setting boundaries with your sister if being around her triggers these feelings. It may also involve seeking therapy to explore the underlying causes of these feelings. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
In summary, it's normal to experience different feelings towards someone, but it's important to prioritize your mental and emotional well-being. Seek support from a mental health professional and practice self-compassion.
