Your situation sounds like it's taking its toll on you. I'm sorry you feel like an outcast in your family. It's important to remember though that all your siblings are different in some way or another. We all are different and that's what makes us special! Don't try and change to fit in

as someone who has a lot of siblings, I believe it is normal to feel like this. Its because you are comparing yourslef to your family members and you feel like the black sheep of the family. its important to note, that each one of you siblings has different strengths and different weaknesses. maybe you are good at math, but your brother sucks at math. Maybe your brother is really good at sketching and drawing, but you on the other hand, you are not so good. Pay attention to your own strengths and dont focus on someone elses. Pay more attention to the good parts about yourself.
