Every time I talk about trying new things, she brings me down. For example, I mentioned I wanted to be a tour guide for my school campus and she immediately said I wouldn't be good at it. I also mentioned I wanted to go into this specific job for my major and she said there's no way I could do that. There have been other moments, and she has also done this to our brother. These comments used to get to me but I've learned to let them go. I guess I'm trying to understand why she does this.

Why does my sister put me down?
Hi,
This person is having some issues of her own, possibly about her confidence, jealousy and insecurity if witnessing something you achieve. A very toxic person.
You cannot change how life is lived or viewed by another person.
You are only in charge of your own thoughts and feelings.
I am glad that you are ignoring these statements. Keep going!
What do your parents say, gaining their support might help you to move on. No one can predict how well someone can do in their life, just believe in God and know he helps you through your chosen path and you will do well. Abit of Positivity and you will achieve all your goals
Even if you fail, you have chance to try again and take help from others.
Keep trying till you succeed
Think best thing maybe is don't discuss it with her and talk to a good friend.
