Hate is a strong word. If you feel this way, ask yourself the simple question "why?". Was it something he did? Was it really his fault? Or do I just have a lower tolerance? If so, why? Understand that feeling "hate" will not only affect the people around you, it also taxes your own mind. It is an unnecessary burden to carry, even though it may be justified.

Maybe remembering that you was a little boy too, very active and with a lot of curiosity. It's not his fault, he's just a child and he's learning how to act.

I dont think you ever really hate your little brother. I think that there are moments where you want to hate him, but at the end of the day if it comes to protecting him, you have his back. I say just talk to your little brother about what the issue is.

You can't choose your family, when you hate someone it's because you see that hate in yourself. Accept what is and embrace it.

First you need to know why you hate your little brother, what did he do to you to make you feel that way? Sadly you can‘t stop hating someone from one second to another, but you can slowly change your feelings. He is your brother, he loves you and deep inside you love him too or you wouldn‘t have asked this question! Talk to him, try to go out with him or do something together, maybe you‘ll notice he is better then you think! Did he do something bad? Or did he take the part of the „little kid“ in the family? Whatever it is, it‘s your decision, also if you won‘t stop hating him right away, it‘s a giant step asking how you could do it!

Just remember that you were young at one time as well. They're experiencing life the same way you did. Help guide them rather than shrug them off. Be someone they can look up to rather than someone they are afraid of. Ask yourself what you would do if you had an older sibling who was mean to you anytime you asked a question or wanted someone to hang out with. Would your feelings be hurt? Would you be scared to even go near that sibling? Don't do to them what you wouldn't want done to you. Be a leader!

First realise that hate is a strong word, then try to find good things, at least 3 that you appreciate about your brother. Love does not appear from thin air it is to be worked on, so try everyday to find the good in him. If possible then find activities that you can do together or bond over and see how that makes you feel. It is also important to realise that hating your brother does not make you a monster or a bad person. You can work towards improving your relationship and see where that takes you in life.

Sibling rivalry is totally normal, and almost every sibling will have fights between each other. You must remember at the end of the day, no matter how annoying or silly or childish they are, they are your family member. They look up to you as their older sibling and by showing love, acceptance and forgiving, they learn that for the future and will (or should hopefully) reflect that back on to you, because you are just as annoying to them as they are to you.. and by being able to have an argument and forgive each other, it helps you both grow and learn things from each other to use in the future.

You need to focus on the positives of having a younger brother, he can be annoying but he won't always be that way. He might cause trouble but when he grows up he will need your help. In the end they grow up and become more mature and he won't always be the same as he is now. You might have been exactly like him at his age. Trust me they aren't always the same, I hope this helps clear up some fog for you. Also maybe talk to your parents about how to deal with these feelings. Thanks.
