Reply #35: It really hurts when you know a sibling is smarter and was raised better

I have come to the conclusion it is about feeling accepted and some will go to any lengths to get it, even selling out their native values for the perception of going along with what they think is the majority.

My older brother, once my hero, is same way. And I know he suffers from feeling like he never fit in as a kid. It is a characteristic I have noticed in many winger tag-along types. My sister is a hateful, completely self-centered racist. My brother goes along to get along. Sadly, he can't grasp why the rest of us just can't deal with her/him around her.
