Toxic Brother

Ok well this is a really annoying problem but I have a toxic brother. He talks bad about others behind their back a lot (including me), he is manipulative, controlling & highly sensitive. Now this issue is he is my brother and I can’t just cut him off as he has always been in my life and even though he is this way deep down I do love him. The thing that’s really bothering me is because he is the way he is I feel very wary of him, I don’t trust him and I feel an awkwardness when interacting with him, when he calls I feel anxious and like I don’t want to talk really. The other thing is I’m not a social person, I’m highly introverted, i like to work and go home chill in peace. He is much more sociable and likes to call, text, meet people constantly, he will ask about meeting with me but I say I’m tired and just want to chill at home, which is true but I can tell he takes this to heart. I do meet him occasionally but I don’t feel like it often and again he takes offense to this and sulks. He thinks everything is about him, he’s the type of someone says they are busy he will talk bad about them or be like screw them. He is also a big hypocrite, if someone asked to meet him and he’s busy that’s ok but if others are busy they are knobs. At the moment we are not super close but just about ok. He is not too pleased with me as I text back in my own time and don’t really call him. The thing is I don’t really call anyone, or text anyone, I just like peace, am I wrong for this? It’s annoying that my brother is this way, i just want to keep the relationship amicable as I don’t hate him, he is my brother at the end of the day but also I can’t just start texting, calling loads, asking to meet up just to keep him happy as then that’s me being fake & making myself uncomfortable as socialising with him is exhausting, I’m introverted and that’s who I am, he is making me feel that I’m wrong for living the way I want. Any advice would be appreciated.

He is your brother. Think like this is your life exam. If he does something wrong,(like talking bad about others behind their back) this will be his own sin, and mistake. I know this is hard, but you must be patient, and don't care what he say.

What advice do you want exactly?
He doesnt sound the nicest person in the world but on the same hand i cant fasult him for you ignoring him, that would annoy/upset most people if their family were going out of their way to not see them..
As to your inference that you seem to want to cut him off but dont want to because hes family and youve known him for so long, well... if you think youd be better off go for it but given most of the issues you mentioned seem to pertain to his interactions with other people and not with you im not sure why youre taking them quite so personally. Unless he's doing something bad to you, as opposed to others in his life, why would you mind?
