We both are not talking :-(

My brother and I are not talking since Monday evening :-(. Actually, I was driving home in the evening and he was on the passenger seat (we work nearby so use one car only and save on petrol and environment too).

I stopped the car on a red light and switched off the engine and pulled the handbrake. And just after that, he started checking if I had pulled the handbrake or not as if I was a kid and didn’t know what needed to be done at that time lol.

I know he was just making sure for the good sake only but I don’t like the way he treats me as a kid. I even know it’s an Indian way to treat your younger ones and keep teaching them all the things every now and then haha but I am really not into all this and dislike it in the first place.

I would prefer to be responsible for my own actions and learn from my mistakes rather than someone else is telling me do this, do that all the time. I like to use my brain and learn. Had I not pulled the handbrake and my car would have hit someone or some other car, I would have been responsible for that mistake and after that I would have never repeated this mistake all my life but I don’t understand why my elders always think I am still a baby lol. I know they love me and probably do it out of love and concern for me but still, I am a grown up adult and have been driving since I was a teenager lol.

And the sad part is he took it very wrongly and went quiet, I tried to speak to him 2-3 times after that incident but he gave cold replies and now I have taken it on my ego too lol and didn’t talk to him since then.

Why do men have so big egos lol.
