But what can I do if me and my brother don't have the best relationship?

This is what can I do because me and my brother don't have the best relationship?

This one's a super easy one. This won't be really quick. I don't have a good relationship with my older

brothers. I'm just now starting a good relationship with my older brothers. Here's one thing

you can do though. You can pull them aside one-on-one. If you notice that's a common thing,

pull them aside one-on-one, remind them of some times that you guys had

together that was cool. Like, hey man, I just want to tell you, remember that one time when we went

to that one football camp or we went to that one concert? We're at that one, you know, fair

carnival, whatever. Remember that time? Like, remind them some good times. Like, get him caught up and nostalgia's like, man, dude, like, I don't know what's happened,

like, why we don't vibe like that no more, but I just want to let you know, man, low-key,

like, I really do love you. Like, I know sometimes I piss you off, I make you mad. By the way,

if you're the younger sibling, you're going to annoy your older siblings. If you're the older sibling, you're going to get annoyed by your younger siblings. But as soon as you graduate and get older, you're kind of the same age. Like, there's not a lot

of difference as you get older. It's best to squash those beefs now. It's best to just go to that

person, your sibling. It's called being vulnerable makes you available. If you just go up to

them and you're 1,000% awesome, like, hey man, like last night when you, when you punked me in front of my friends, when you made me made in fun of me, because that's what my brothers should do, my friends would come over, like, oh, I'm going to make fun of you in front of your friends and embarrass you. It was funny to them, not to me. Right? I pulled my brother's side and said, hey, man, like, I know you're just being funny, but like, dude, I don't like that, man. Like, you embarrass me in front of my friends.

He was like, oh, I'm just joking around.

I go, yeah, I know you're joking around, but I don't embarrass you in front of your friends.
