I fucking hate him. He’s a dictionary definition iPad kid and he only ever gets praise for quote unquote “being so smart” though It’s all just regurgitated information from YouTube. He isn’t actually too intelligent, but everyone treats him like Einstein. I have done research on the universe for years and I get dismissed because “konnor would know that” I fucking hate him

fuck konnor
Envy is not a virtue. Work on that.
Your brother’s age would help. If he’s 6 then you maybe need to chill, if he’s 16 then you may have a valid point.
Sounds like you’re dealing with “golden child syndrome.” It’s just as harmful to him, but in a different way. He will not be equipped to handle the real world, and when he’s older there will be less empathy extended to him as time goes on. You’ll be ready for the real world, and then some. I’m assuming you’re probably the scapegoat in your family as well, as that’s usually how it goes with golden children.
Make a surprise quiz at dinner about stuff “Konnor would know” and watch him try to figure it out and then say the answers yourself. Do this everyday with different questions every time, that should shut him up. Just make sure you ask other people the questions first and if they say “Konnor would know that” you found a question you should use, but make it purposefully hard so he doesn’t “know that”.
OP, your brother is just 13, a child. It sounds like your frustration might be more about how your parents are handling things than about him directly. This could be a case of a golden child/scapegoat dynamic, which can be incredibly painful and unfair. A therapist could really help you unpack these feelings and navigate the situation.
it seems your little brother is not the problem, but everyone else who undermine you
Konnor a weird ass name
Research on the universe? Okay…go off king
Musk, or Konnor, which is it??
