How to put it nicely?


Question Posted Sunday September 16 2007, 12:56 pm

Ok well my brother..well he likes to share a lot of good things but most of the time he kinda mis-hears the information so to others it sounds like he's bragging or boasting or showing off and then it comes out as if he's a liar.

Like this one time I got the highest test mark in my class and i said 85% but he though it was 95% and he told my friend and my friend congratulated me about it and I'm liek what? (cuz that test was like 3 months ago and he thought it was 3 days ago) so the person is like boasting brat..

Noone ever said stuff like this to him in hsi face but behind his back (to me). I want to tell him to like, shut up but shut up isn't realyl the word.

How can i put it to him nicely so he doesn't get sad and offended? He's super sensitive and really young

Well you have to tell your brother that the next time he should ask you first about something that is about you to make sure that he doesn't say something that is incorrect or something that you rather keep to yourself because you don't want people to think he's trying to rub things in their face or he is not the type that tells the truth,and you are saying it to him because you care about him.

Tell him that you really appreciate the fact that he's proud of you, and you're glad that he looks up to you and all, but it really is your thing. Tell him that you want to be the person that gets to tell everyone about your good grades and that YOU don't want to come off like you're showing off, because he's talking about it. Tell him that you love him, but you really just want it to be YOUR thing.

Just say it gently, it should be alright.
