My brother humiliates me.

Good evening friends. I managed to keep Helem up to 22 hours, and then she fell asleep, now I should sleep all night. Today we were alone, because they all went to cut wood in the woods, and the two of us spent time outside. When I was supposed to bathe, my brother made a problem and started crying. I can not believe he's so insensitive. I constantly suffer his insults and I do not expect him to thank me for worrying about Helena, but at least to stop insulting me. Unfortunately this will never happen. How do you react to insults and humiliations?

@hillhjill You're right, but that's almost impossible, because I live with my parents and he comes to this house.

@Nevena83 My brother did the same because I cared so much. He knows that you care and this is why he insults you.

Yes, I'm trying, but I can not, because he knows how to challenge my reaction.

I fully agree with Deborah @Corbin5, he takes pleasure in offending you and he expects your reaction. Do nothing, ignore him.

@LadyDuck I do my best, but I think I can not endure it, because it has hurt me many times and once there is enough word that will force me to react.

For me, I need to call my siblings attention. It is not the right thing to humiliate or insult me. Then, we can talk about some concerns about why they feel that way.

@Nevena83 In that's the case. we can just let it go. It takes time for somebody or someone to realize what had happened. Let the time takes its course on this then.

I do not let insults and negative words bother me. I just ignore them. I don't let the words of other people affect who I am as a person. If they say bad things, that's their problem, not mine. I choose to be positive and happy. If they choose to be negative, angry or sad, well that's just something they have to live with. I am choosing to enjoy life. If they choose to suffer through life because of their poor attitudes, then they are just not going to be very happy people. Life is too short for that.

@Nevena83 I know there are so many factors that contribute to our outlook on life. Our personality, our upbringing, our education, our health, etc. I have rough days where I feel depressed, angry or sad, just like everyone else. But I force myself to snap out of it and find the good or happiness in each situation.
