As an elder sibling, one fear that many might relate to is the worry of not being a good enough role model. We often feel pressure to set a positive example, and the fear of letting our younger siblings down can be daunting. Another common fear is the concern that our siblings may feel overshadowed or inadequate in comparison to us, especially if we achieve milestones that they haven’t yet reached. It can be tough to balance our successes while uplifting them and ensuring they know they’re valued for their own unique qualities. Lastly, there’s the fear of losing that close bond as life pulls us in different directions. It’s a complex mix of love, responsibility, and vulnerability that can often go unspoken. How about you?
