Yep, I'm not imagining that it happens. Coming to think of it, it's really stupid. When I see siblings I don't think "Oooh, you're so different. A is so quiet and B is so expansive!". When people do that with me I just give them a confused expression: despite the fact that I must be really weird to get those comments, what did they expect? Clones?

I do compare us a lot. Not necessarily judging me as worse in this situation, because we have a similar drive when it comes to our studies, but in the sense of me being inadequate and all that comes with it, yes (so I end up being 'worse' anyway). Not to mention that my anxiety made me mess up things in my first year, before she had started, so I got some comparisons about this too... which kind of sucked, but I can't blame people as they don't know I have issues. Having her as study partner is actually great because I can finally feel more comfortable and get work done. I was starting to question my capacity and almost freaking out when she got in.
