STOP Trying to Control Others!

One of the main ways to set yourself up for failure or disappoint yourself the most is to try to control others - their thoughts, their feelings, their opinions or their emotions.

It is simply something that you cannot do.

But we want to be in control, we want to know the outcome before it happens and the unknown scares us. That is the hard part, you have to learn to give up control, to be okay with the unknown and to give people the freedom to experience their own journey.

I'm the youngest of three brothers. I have a hard time "managing my feelings" because I'm always the one who initiates contact with my brothers, and that makes me feel that they really don't give a rip about me. We live far apart and can rarely meet. I find I often think about my brothers and that leads me to emailing them. Although my brothers will write back, it seems that if I don't write or call them first, they'll never initiate contact. They certainly don't call me. It's especially hurtful and frustrating to me because whenever we do get together, we always (or at least in my mind) have a nice time. So I have a hard time understanding why I can't hear from my brothers unless I do the contacting. Is this part of some "older brother syndrome"? Any suggestions for how to live with the feeling of being "ghosted" by my older brothers would be much appreciated! I'd give almost anything to stop feeling so "needy" and to stop feeling hurt by my brothers' seeming indifference to keeping in touch with me.
