I'm 25. How do I deal with my sister (31) making comments about how I'm not smart or can't get a job?
I'm in law school about to finish and take the bar and she keeps making these little comments about how she doubts my abilities. It's obvious that this something and what I really need is support so I just don't know how to deal with it. We have a good relationship (usually if I just keep my mouth shut) so I don'twant to cause unnecessary drama... What the hell would Buddha do?

Well sounds like your sister is began rude and disrespectful maybe she see's that your life is going in the right way that you want it to go. She looks at you as a treat if your on top and she's at the bottom she may be scared since your younger than her most family have the older one began on the up and up. Just tell her to deal with her issues not yours. Many siblings will put down one another so they can ride the high horse and get that self respect that they are craving. Do not mind her she is putting you down because she feels that her life is not in a good path. You have set your future for your self. Do not let anyone even family disrespect you or you life.

Sounds like she's jealous. Just tell her if she's got enough time on her hands to chastise you, maybe she needs to reexamine her own affairs.

Tell her to butt out of your life. Sounds jealous to me.People often make comments like this when they are insecure about their own lives also.

she cant be that smart if she doesnt know your in school and working on your law degree
when u graduate u will get to article for practically nothing and that wont make her happy either
then after u pass the bar it will take appoximately five years to get your career established and she wont be happy bout that either
so all in all she has a lot of misery ahead of her so be happy with thatLike (1)

Ignore her - I know that's hard. What you are doing is preparing yourself for a career, and that takes time and work. Eventually the remuneration will eclipse those, like her, would rather have you work as a walmart greeter for the rest of your life.

I believe the Buddah would respond,"Is that so?" And move forward unaffected.
I, being less evolved, would probably rip her a new *******.Like (1)

Seems you have three choices.
Tell her to stop doing it. She might not like hearing you stand up for yourself.
Avoid her.
Keep swallowing it.
I'd go for option #1, though I'd try to do it diplomatically.
As a lawyer, you will be dealing with human psychology fairly often. Dealing with your sister will be good practice.Like (1)

Is she jealous you're going to be successful? Does she just stay at home and watch her kid or she single and not doing anything for herself? What does she do that more important?

Tell her to shove off, the economy sucks right now and getting a job is murder it's not your fault. Ignore her or tell her that you really don't appreciate her comments, as for Budda...I have no clue
