Advice about sister plz

TLDR: I struggle with guilt with my sister and don't know what to do

This post is about me (30F) and my sister (28F). I'm the first to admit that I consider myself a socially awkward person. Other people are surprised to hear that I feel that way about myself but my siblings have a better read on it. I was with a group of friends and I brought up how my sister does really well in job interviews. She's been looking for a job for about a year now and is very open with our friends that she really wants to find one. She got really upset at me after for bringing it up, saying that it wasn't for me to bring up. I genuinely didn't mean it in a bad way and only brought it up as a way to hype her up. I apologized several times telling her that while I did not have any bad intentions, I clearly misread what I was doing and that I was truly sorry. She told me I only brought that up because I'm socially awkward and went into this whole thing about how I bring up things she doesn't want brought up. I'm always very cautious about what I say in front of others and tbh she will often times disrespect me in front of others (several friends have even brought this up to me and I'll just brush it off saying it's not a big deal even though it really does hurt me; I just don't want them to look poorly on her).

Anyway, I'm riddled with guilt (another thing I really struggle with in general) and feel paralyzed.

Also, yes I have what people would call an "anxious attachment" style and yes my relationship with my mom has been similar to this lol
