Hello lahlah,
It sounds frustrating that she's getting so much attention, and perhaps sympathy and unhealthy validation from others. Is this just within your family, or also outside of it? What xactly is she going on about that's bothering you? I hope to hear more... .

lalah,
I have a sister like this. She has been dying from many different illnesses for more than 15 years (although the doctors have run every test under the sun on her and can't find anything.) She needs to be the center of attention at all times and becomes competitive with me, no matter what we are doing. She has to be the better cook, the better gardener, etc. My oldest sister is similar, although she seeks pity from others through other methods.
In what ways does your sister do this? What is your current relationship like with your sister?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Wishing you all the best.
