Was it irrational alone feeling or did you not really have a social group?
In Which We Complain About Our Siblings
I agree. For me, my characters are usually the only things that really matter to me at times, and telling their stories really helps to lessen the loneliness.
That's why it took everything I had not to break down when my story took a life of its own and my closest friend died! It tore me apart! I made a memorial day specifically for when he died.
This world person or character?

I know, right? At this point, it becomes less of us writing the story and more of us just recording what happens…
This world person or character?
Character. His name is Timothy.

I'm farther ahead in my story mentally than physically on paper.

Same. I have, like, two pages written, and in my head, it's an entire trilogy.

My brother asks about my characters and stories sometimes, and then either questions or sometimes criticizes why they are the way they are (like if someone one is depressed or violent or GAY, or why my most recent story has a bunch of murder in it).
I try to explain but he just doesn't get it, and he refuses to take "they just are" as a 'valid reason'.
Also, a couple minutes ago, he apparently thought back to a conversation we had a while ago and doesn't even remember what it was about, but he just went "meh meh meh", mocking something I had said during the convo….like…?
I have so much and so little written down.

Yeah…my younger siblings are ok but I can't tell my older brother cause he's kinda like that…just gives me this weird look.
Yeah same. My brother thought Gods of Brooklyn was about misery and I was like ???

try explaining something about a character when you're talking about a part halfway through the story…it's like, "don't ask…long story short this is why they said/did that".

Yeah but then that leads to more questions, and I don't know about you, but my brothers wants details. He's usually gotta know everything about the thing to understand the thing.

that's Ryan.
To be fair that is also me. I am very critical and need to understand everything.

That's why you don't tell your siblings these things, If it gets out to the wrong one, then all of them will know.
ok so, i know i have slight anger issues. if i get too annoyed i'll lash out and hurt someone. my little brother knows this
he even said "you hurt me when you get annoyed" today
and what did he do? he purposely annoyed me, even though i had asked him to stop nicely for a good hour
and now i'm mostly just worried that he's gonna piss off the wrong person one day, because we're not that far from the city, where all the gangs are, so like,,,, i worry
