How can one assess this dynamic between my brother and me?

I don't quite understand it.

I am 26,m and I have 3 siblings, all of whom I love very much, but this is about my younger brother, he is 22, will be 23 in 2 months.

Yesterday, something gave me a panic attack and I went berserk. It was just before midnight. I called him and he asked if everything was okay.

And he immediately noticed from the way I spoke that I was panicking and scared again, and then he immediately came to me to calm me down, to be there for me and to comfort me.

He's actually really sweet, and he also provided a lot of emotional support when our grandfather died.

Sure, he was sad too, and we're all there for each other, but he was extremely, really extremely stuck in his emotions, as if he couldn't fully accept them.

He's always a rock when I'm losing control or panicking. And he's so incredibly caring. I want to be there for him, too, but he always acts like everything's fine.

I notice sometimes when something is bothering him he can play it off so damn well and still focus on everyone else but not on himself.

Isn't that funny?

Hello

I don’t always talk about my problems, sometimes it’s getting me confused when I hear the opinion of others. Then I feel less what my needs are. And then there are people like my sister, you help when she can talk about her problems. I would rather talk about the problems when the problem is solved

He draws his strength from love and help for his family. What’s wrong with that? Something more empathy please!

He loves you and wants to be there for you. That’s nice for him. If all people in Israel-Palästina want to be so good to the people of the other ethnicity, there would not even be the least problem there.

If your brother himself has the emotional problem, then it’s better if someone else comforts him, I guess. It is normal that one suffers more from his own problems, like others.

It’s not funny. But it is not good for him to put his own needs in the back. Look for a therapist so your brother doesn’t have to be there. Not mean evil
