She Believes That Her Cousin Has Been Copying All Of Her Interests Since They Were Kids, So She Recently Called Her Cousin Out For Trying To “Steal Her Dreams” And Got Accused Of Being Delusional

This woman and her cousin, Lucy, always grew up living just one street away from each other. But, she claims that ever since they were children, Lucy has been “copying” and “stealing” her dreams.
Plus, she believes that even now that they are adults, Lucy continues to do the same thing.
It all began back when they were teenagers, and she started to get really interested in computers and video games. In fact, she even wanted to become a software developer.
Now, she claims that Lucy barely ever touched computers and was very interested in medicine and biology instead.
Yet, as soon as she started being vocal about her dream of being a software developer, Lucy reportedly did the same thing.
“Lucy just suddenly decided she would become a software developer out of literally nowhere and went to study computer science,” she recalled.
Then, her dream shifted, and she started imagining herself moving to a big capital city far away from their county.
And at the time, Lucy apparently shot down the idea– claiming that it was not for her since the houses were insanely expensive there. Lucy also reportedly said that she wanted to stay in the countryside forever.
“Then, what did she do? Like half a year later, Lucy moved to the capital city,” she said.

Most recently, though, one more incident totally pushed her over the edge. Less than a year ago, she and Lucy got together, and she revealed how she had wanted to move to Western Europe.
But, right after they broached the topic, Lucy apparently came up with numerous different reasons why she would never do that.
As of this past week, though, it became clear that Lucy had completely changed her mind– because apparently, Lucy and her husband announced that they would be moving abroad to Western Europe.
Now, at this point, she claims to “know” that all of Lucy’s life choices are not just a coincidence. Instead, she is confident that her cousin is doing it all on purpose.
So, she ended up getting really frustrated and decided to confront her cousin once and for all.
First, she told Lucy that she would appreciate it if her dreams stopped getting stolen away. She also claimed that it was “actually sad” of Lucy to live her life that way– “never having an original idea” and just “copying” whatever she wanted to do in her own life.
According to her, though, her cousin acted completely clueless. In fact, Lucy just asked her what the heck she was talking about, and she proceeded to list out all of the “main things”– including the computer science job, moving to the capital city, and now, moving abroad.
But, to her surprise, Lucy claimed that actually none of those choices had anything to do with her. In fact, her cousin claimed to have long forgotten that she ever wanted to be a software developer.
Lucy also reportedly told her in “a really condescending way” that if she asked any college-educated people under the age of thirty in their country, at least 80% of them would reveal they were thinking of moving abroad.
“So, she said that we are both unoriginal in the same way, but I am also delusional and self-centered,” she revealed. Yikes!
While her cousin’s comments were supposed to add clarity to the situation, though, she has only become angrier. Plus, she admitted that Lucy’s “insults” and “defensiveness” have only solidified her belief that she was right about her cousin.
However, following that whole incident, Lucy reportedly spilled the beans about what happened to her entire family. So now, everyone has begun treating her like she is just a “jealous little boy.”
This is especially true about her brother– who believes that she needs to apologize to Lucy before her cousin moves abroad.
Anyway, with her entire family taking Lucy’s side now, she has been left wondering whether accusing her cousin of stealing her dreams and being unoriginal was a really rude thing to do or not.
Do you think Lucy is really stealing her dreams? Or, might she just be jealous that her cousin is accomplishing the same things she wished to achieve? Does she have a right to be jealous of Lucy, or should she be happy for her cousin? If you were in her shoes, would you apologize in this situation?
