I've made a point to try not to talk about family here, but I need some comradere

Sister is in town and has always been against me getting into Bitcoin and all of the change in health things I've done. It was one thing after I rode the bear market down, but now? I'm sick of it.

I finally addressed it directly and left room to say that it's fine if you're not into it, but you're direct negativity towards the things in building my life around is getting to a point where it feels like you're rooting against me. I'm just asking for some support.

All I got was an "I'll think about it"

I generally don't give people the time of day once I find out they aren't rooting for me to succeed (we all can win), but family? That's tough and we generally have a solid relationship otherwise.

I'm sure some of you guys have dealt with something similar. How did you handle it? How did you get it to a positive place?

Unpopular opinion :

I think you should think about yourself first.

Would you tolerate someone else acting like that if it was not for a close family member. The answer is no.

You don't owe anything to your sister, and you don't owe her unwavering loyalty... Because she is not loyal to you herself. She would not root against you if she was loyal.

In the end, it's about you. IF she brings something positive to you in other ways and it compensates what you just described well then you have an incentive to keep on spending time with her. If not, it's ok to reduce the time you allocate to her.

You should check out Doctor Ramani's youtube channel on narcissism. There is a subtype narcissist called vulnerable/covert narcissist. I just went through this rabbit hole because a very close one is actually a covert narcissist.
