But you obviously need your brother's approval for whatever reason.

maybe because i want to prove to him that I'm knowledgeable on his interests, which are also my interests? i don't want to seem like the boring non nonchalant little brother, i want to be able rejoice when he rejoices ,but can't harness the energy to SPEAK ALOUD.when I'm around my couple of friends who are my age, I'm totally wild and comical. When with him, i seem boring i feel, and overly quiet.. While we're riding around i think of things to say in between the quiet zones, after hes through talking, only to come up empty. Is it an age difference/ inferiority complex issue on top of other speculation maybe?

Why not voice it?

I think thats my problem, I become so overwhelmed that I'm speechless, lol

i should just disregard these sentiments as a whole and get on with my life..
