How to deal with a bossy, self-righteous, insulting elder brother?

When he deals with me he underestimates, insults and overimposes his authority being older because I tend to be intimidated and respectful to him but deep inside my senses and my person resent and oppose such behavior, however, he has something that I needed or necessary for my success. What should I do? Tell me how to, tactfully, because we are not that young anymore. How should I deal with a brother like this elder brother I have who is self-righteous, bossy, overbearing, in short a tyrant?

Answer #1

Just tell him he doesn’t have to treat you like a child anymore and that he should show you respect like you do to him

Answer #2

I have a brother like this and we are now grown up however, he continues to try to treat me with disrespect. My advice is this: let him know that you do not accept any unwarranted criticism and rubbish. Send it back to him and say it in a strong way that you are no longer willing to accept this kind of behaviour eventually it will sink in…
