I have a brother (14M) and as his big sis (23F) I’ve trying to get him out of his shell, get involved with our family a little bit. He’s the youngest of us 3, and the only boy but we’ve never excluded him on anything, actually I take him everywhere, he’s told me before he and his friends consider me “the cool sister” because I always try to get involved in his activities, whether is driving him to his friends house or giving him money for snacks. The only problem is, sometimes he isolates out of nowhere, prefers to be out with his friends, and is always in a bad mood when we’re out with my parents. Like just this past father’s day he ditched on dad and went out with his friends even though mom, sister (16F) and me told him how rude and inconsiderate was to leave. We’re a close knit family, we can talk to our parents about anything, seriously anything it comes to mind, mom and dad have given us that privilege to share all of our experiences, we’re also big on physical affection whether is a hug, a kiss, annoying mom or dad and going into their room, you name it. But it feels like he never wants to be part of it, no matter how much we ask. Our country just played this week and we were watching the match all together, and we called him over and over again and he never came downstairs. When we asked him why, he just simply shrugged and went back to his phone. He wasn’t like this before he went off to high school , he used to talk about his day, how he felt etc, and now we’re lucky if we get a couple sentences from him. Any advice? Parents are over it, but I want my brother to know that he has a loving family and we don’t suck lol submitted by /u/mentaldollface_
