because your brother is doing what brothers do and that is to cause unwanted attention, do not let this bother you

Your brother may be saying these things because he has low self esteem and he is taking his insecure feelings out on you.

Because he doesn't understand your feelings. He doesn't know how you feel, and he has no right to call you that.

A lot of times certain actions are seen as attention-seeking because either a) they are a cry for help, and/or b) they bring attention to you in their nature, even though you might not necessarily be trying to get attention. It might be a good idea to talk to your brother about why he thinks the way he does and try to explain your situation to him.

Most likely he feels as if he isn't getting as much attention as you are. He might be jealous. He may want all the attention that are/about to be getting and he doesn't like that. So he accuses you of seeking out the attention and taking it away from him.

I don't know your specific situation, but it may help to think about: what might your brother be feeling right now? What sort of experiences/lack of experiences of his might make it harder for him to understand your feelings/behaviors? How has he felt your words/actions impact him or others? Trying to see from his perspective doesn't mean he is right, and it isn't always easy, but if you can try to get an understanding of what he thinks and feels, it will help you better be able to talk with him in a way that might improve your relationship and change the way he views you.

Well, sibling rivalry is a common feature in all human societies, but again siblings that intend harmful consequences are very rare. If it's possible can you tell him to clarify his basis of accusation? The thing is that you should be taking these things too seriously until it's really harming you!

He probably doesn't understand your situation. That's something he probably won't understand unless he's been in it himself.

Sometimes people may not understand everything that you are going through. Because of that, they may think you are just getting more attention than them for no reason.

Maybe because he does not understand what you are going through. Being in the same family he may have some of the same issues, so he does not understand why you are the way you are.
