Just a quick little rant:
Many you have probably figured out by my whining on this rant board that my brother has a superiority complex xD But it's really starting to get to me, he feels the need to "discipline" me even though I'm the older brother and will often go to great lengths to belittle me in front of my friends and family. He constantly yells at me and calls me an idiot and I'm too nice to do harm to anybody so hitting him is out of the question. He always feels the need to prove whatever I say wrong and make sure that I feel dumb while he's doing it.
Oh and he sees my furryness as a joke and treats it like I have a weird sexuality ugh...
that was another one of drake's rants for the day..

i will say this, the superiority thing is something you can work on slowly painstakingly slowly. im prsonly trying to get the upper hand slowly not that one ever existed in my house hold, but still it would be nice for me to have it.
-
lead him into a trap. plan a conversation on a topic that you know he has misinformation on then rub it in. basically prove to him that he's not the greatest. i do it all the time when my friends try to act smarter then they are. its crude and dirty but at the same time intellectual and it normally works. (unless they turn if around and get you stuck in your own trap.....I've done that to, its fun on the winning side but is worse than falling for the original trap.)
-
Heh, don't hit 'im? You can still make him miserable >.> But the real advice is similar to Serp's: Outsmart him, blow his brain with some intellectual know-it-allness that he has no chance of winning. Or if your not up to that, put him in a maze of circular logic that he will get stuck in.
-
knowledge is power, power corrupts.....study hard, join the dark intellectuals. (an edited quote a friend of mine came up with.)
but hit your adversary with a logical problem that they can not solve. here's one
you get to a river you have to cross, you have a fox, a goat and a lettuce that you have to take across with you but the only way across is a small boat that can only carry you and one of the three. the fox will eat the goat if left alone same as the goat will eat the lettuce. what do you do? I'll give you the answer once you try to figure it out.
-
Goat, then you take the fox, take the goat back with you, take the lettuce across, and then take the goat back.
The question is: Would'nt the average fox or goat wander off if you left them alone xD
-
that was faster than one of the teachers at my school got it. and that is a good point.
OK how about these,
1) Paul's height is six feet, He's an assistant at a butcher's shop, and wears size 9 shoes. What does he weigh?
2) When you have me, you feel like sharing me. But, if you do share me, you don't have me. What am I?
3) The person who makes it has no need for it. The person who purchases it does not use it. The person who does use it does not know he or she is. What is it?

baaaack on topic!

Backseat moderating is not necessary.

but this is on topic..... loosely....these are things to use against your brother, it's not like he would be able to get all of these. and if he can then he may just be an intellectual.
-
Well it seems like your brother is trying to get your attention.
He wants to be seen as the better or equal to you probably because he feels this is a role he must occupy.
Also he might be trying to better understand you by testing your limits.
Next time he trys to correct you try telling him "Well, thats your opinion of how/what I'm doing and your entitled to your opinions."
See how he reacts.
Do the same for when he calls you a idiot or makes fun of you for being a furry.
-
I understand your reasoning ferrachu, but my brother has never desired or tried to get my attention. He really doesn't care that I exist

He acts that way but I'm telling you, its a act.
-
Yeah, he's probably just rying to beef himself up, you know, create dominance in the family.
He wants to be top dog, and (heres a dog-lovers analogy) you sometimes have to pin his snout. If all else fails, take it literally and give him a good bitin' >:3
-
make sure you've had all your shots first, don't want him sick. ;J
-
No. Bite him.
Most definitall bite him as soon as anthro'ly possible.
