How different are you from your siblings?

I have an older brother who is older by three years. We used to be close as kids but we took different paths as we got older. He went to college and works for a mortgage company. He's married with kids and has a nice house in a nice part of town with a nice car. I don't know if we stood next to each other you could tell we are brothers but that's about it. He doesn't really talk to me these days much. I'll see him at gatherings and ocassionally he will take me to lunch but I don't know. Sometimes I feel like he wants to hide me and others in the family from his shiny new life and shiny new friends and family. Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough for him anymore. Just can't help but to feel looked down on. My nieces barely even know me. I've only met them a few times. They probably forget about uncle dan over here. I'll reach out to my brother too and say hey let's hang out or hey want to come over we can get pizza? He usually turns me down or already has plans or isn't feeling social. I suppose it's his choice but it just sucks.

Aww I’m sorry he turns down your offers to hang out and that you haven’t really gotten to see your nieces much. I have two brothers and we are all three very different. My oldest brother is the smart one and sounds similar to your brother really. And then my other brother is the polar opposite and well I don’t want to rant on about him lol but he has undesirable behavior really. And then I’m somewhere in the middle lol. My oldest brother won’t even hardly talk to our other brother or allow him at his house. I talk to both of them but not a lot really. It is what it is. But I hope you can develop some sort of relationship with your brother and nieces. Don’t give up!

@tiltawhirl I'll do my best and I hope your brothers work it out someday whatever their differences are.
