How do I become closer with my older brother? [closed]
The difference between me and my older brother is 7 years, i know not a small difference. Me and him were close in the young age, but as he entered puberty, sometimes days would pass without us talking to each other(we live in the same house). Time passed, we argued and fight, classic siblings thing ig. But we were harsh to each other, I'm a verbal person and some things he said to me i still remember and in the correct tone. He's really smart, always was fantastic at school and sports. I was alright at school and sports, but never enough good for my parents. Eventually, his puberty stopped and mine starter, oh boy. I have become very beautiful and with that more bit**y, at least I've been told, I had many friends, went out a lot and wasn't really at home much. I didn't talk to my brother until his second year of college. He started trying to talk to me more, but i didn't want to. Ignoring the fact that I was an angry teenager, I was still holding on the rage from the past i felt towards him, every time he spoke to me I would put up walls and become defensive even tho he said nothing wrong. Now i just don't know how to talk to him, I never feel comfortable enough to be myself with him, and the only thing we share is blood. I know it sounds harsh but we are really two different planets. He's a bit passive aggressive and he acts like he's the smartest person on earth which makes it even harder to talk to him because i dislike arrogant men. But i would want to be more open to him and to try and have some relationship.
