Nagged incessantly...

[therockobama]

So, having had a job and now being out of work, I'm being nagged not by my parents but my brother to go and get a job.

I've been out of work since November 2010 and have been applying for graduate jobs but no luck. But it seems to have changed the relationship between us, where if I'm working, he's really chatty and close to me and when I'm not workng, he thinks I'm a loner and a loser and treats me like shit tbh. Shouting and barking orders without any pleasantries. Hence why now, I tend to avoid making eye contact with him and speak in a low voice, show him that im not happy with his attitude.

I wish he'd back off and support me regardless whether I was working or not..

It sounds to me like your brother ( like a majority of people ) places too much emphasis on work. Correct me if I'm wrong but you need his support now as much as before, if not more, because being jobless is already a hard thing without others constantly reminding you of your situation.

You should tell him that work is not the only thing nor the main thing that defines a person and that you're not a loser just because you don't have a job.
