    Hey guys, I came out to my brother in February of this year and he has accepted me completely and everything. Since then we haven't really talked about it. Sometimes I feel very down and I don't want to pour my troubles all on to my brother because I know he has a stressful job and his own issues to deal with. My question is how do I discuss with him how I am feeling without him thinking I am feeling sorry for myself?

    I suggest asking about how he's doing and offering some type of support. That way he will return the favor and ask about you.

    He might not have brought it up because he is processing it himself or wants to give you the space and time you need to figure yourself out.

    I would use resu's advice and simply send him a "hey, how are you?" and just talk to him.

    That's true. I'll try to do that.
