I agree. In my opinion the rivalry comes from the aunts. If the aunts are petty and jealous, then their kids (cousins) are the same. You can’t separate the two.cousins are the worse when it comes to envy. because they're close enough to be parellel to your life and feel a need to compete with you or compare themselves, but maybe not close enough as a brother/sister where they're wanting good for you overshadows any hint of jealousy
One of my biggest lowkey opps is my cousin on my Hooyo side.I agree. In my opinion the rivalry comes from the aunts. If the aunts are petty and jealous, then their kids (cousins) are the same. You can’t separate the two.
Isn’t it crazy how it’s always the cousins on the mom side that are problematic? I feel like cousins on the dad side are cooler because the moms don’t impose, they usually stay out of it.One of my biggest lowkey opps is my cousin on my Hooyo side.
We would always be compared. I was younger but still came out on top.
I don’t have interest in competing with family.
I think we all have those petty auntsI agree. In my opinion the rivalry comes from the aunts. If the aunts are petty and jealous, then their kids (cousins) are the same. You can’t separate the two.
because its always sister competing lol. I dont think theres a worse sibling rivalry than between two sisters close in age. either their best friends or best frenemiesIsn’t it crazy how it’s always the cousins on the mom side that are problematic?

Yes but it sucks because you can’t have a deep connection with the kids because of them. So everyone loses out. There’s a few cousins on my mom side that I don’t fw because of jealousy, competition and xaasidnimo. That plus my aunts are controlling and control their kids, it feels like they’re a third wheel in the relationship.I think we all have those petty aunts
thats one thing I hate about our culture:/ your at a family gathering you could never just chill with the other kids your age without later hearing something like "dadka maad iska celisid" iska celi from what, nothing happened always some form of instigationYes but it sucks because you can’t have a deep connection with the kids because of them.

Smh it’s sad. And then they expect the kids to get along when the siblings don’t even like each other loool. How can I like someone who talks shit about my mom or my siblings or even me? I don’t care if you’re family or not I won’t fwu.thats one thing I hate about our culture:/ your at a family gathering you could never just chill with the other kids your age without later hearing something like "dadka maad iska celisid" iska celi from what, nothing happened always some form of instigation

Wallahi true. Some habos are trash. It’s funny cuz of how absent many Somali dads are.My cousins on my dads side are my friends.
The habaryars try to compete through their kids. Sad to see sisters beefing wlhi.
My dad never had the patience for the competition stuff. Neither my mom. It was sad to see the man made issues. They needa cut that shit out.Wallahi true. Some habos are trash. It’s funny cuz of how absent many Somali dads are.
Cmon. I’m certain someone has envied you.I'm not important enough for the evil eye. Too much of a dungeon dweller, I'm afraid.
Cmon. I’m certain someone has envied you.
My second cousin got evil eye by some woman who wanted him to bring her from Xamar to Canada.
Most in the community do tbh. When calamity strikes, sixir is often brought up as a legitimate cause.I see. When misfortune randomly strikes I usually don't attribute it to the evil eye.
I think envy is a wasted emotion that divests energy away from bettering oneself and improving one's own lot. Other people's accolodates, traits and achievements are commendable and inspiring if you use them as an example. Its best to just compete with oneself.
You dont cause shit aint realHow’d you know if someone gave you evil eye?
