AITA for ignoring my sister for 2 weeks because she mocks me for believing in aliens?

r/

I love reading about UFOs and aliens. My sister constantly makes fun of me, every family dinner she throws is to my face, calling me crazy and many more. After she embarrassed me Infront of my cousins, I decided I’m done. Haven’t spoken to her in 2 weeks. She says I’m acting like a baby, my parents agree, but I just feel disrespected.

    She probably doesn’t care for magic, fantasy, scifi either . What a boring person.

    Of course aliens are real. who knows what they really look like or where but definitely

    NTA. She’s been openly mocking and embarrassing you, taking a step back for your own sanity isn’t childish, it’s self-respect

    Fight fire with fire. Every time you enter a room or she speaks, just play the X-Files theme at her.

    It’s mind boggling that some people think we’re alone out here. Guess they don’t realize how big space actually is.

    Sometimes people will be rude and disrespectful and your best option will be to just brush it off.

    Many people will not share your beliefs and quite a few will mock you if you feel like espousing them

    Sounds like your sister is a bit of a bully.

    but you might need to learn to adopt a persona that can more easily get along with your family.    You’re not wrong to be the way you are but you might have an easier time in life by being more careful about what you Express and to who.  

    Until you have somewhere else to live sometimes you just have to put up with some BS unfortunately.

    ESH..

    I can’t decide if you are like 14? Or a grown up? There are some context missing here 😅 what is your relationship otherwise? Her age? Your living situation? Do you use critical thinking and nasa bio research in your alien argument? Or 90s pop culture? Etc.

    It does seem like she’s protesting too much.. maybe she’s the alien and doesn’t like the idea that you learning so much might catch her put and she won’t be able finish her assignment on this planet.

    You should take notes, behaviours, sleep patterns. Does she go out in the night and get beamed up?

    Please write all this in a book entitled sister alien elimination.

    NTA.

    NTA not an alien fan myself but that has NO relevance to this – your sister is being a mean bully. Is she insecure? Acting out something your parents do to both of you? Ask her why your beliefs make her so angry.
