SCRIPT CHECK · 60 SECONDS
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “I'm jealous of my sibling's life”, including the private rule underneath it: If my sibling's life is easier or happier than mine, it's because my parents valued them more. And if they were valued more, then I was always worth less. This truth lives in the gap between what they were given and what I had to earn.
QUIET
“I'm jealous of my sibling's life” appears, but it rarely gets the final say. Keep this line available for higher-pressure moments: “Their luck and timing are theirs. My worth was never tied to what my parents chose to see or overlook.”
PRESENT
“I'm jealous of my sibling's life” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “I've been keeping score on a game that was never fair, designed by a child who needed an explanation for the pain.”
ACTIVE
“I'm jealous of my sibling's life” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: Identify one area where your sibling's life is easier, and write down two facts about why that might be true that have nothing to do with parental preference (age difference, personality, timing, opportunity, risk tolerance, geography).
DOMINANT
Right now, “I'm jealous of my sibling's life” is steering many of the moments you measured. That is a pattern reading, not a diagnosis or character verdict. Begin with one reversible receipt: Identify one area where your sibling's life is easier, and write down two facts about why that might be true that have nothing to do with parental preference (age difference, personality, timing, opportunity, risk tolerance, geography).
