Reported if you're talking to me

Reported if you're taking any Astner post seriously, come to think of it.

...seems like the most relevant question so far. I mean, just walk past him? Or ignore him? Or nod and acknowledge the fact that you share more genetic similarities than the others around you, before going about your day?

This really shouldn't be a problem. The fact that you're having to ask about how to deal with it raises some legitimate questions. Like, how f-----d up is your relationship with your brother? Or, are you an adult?

Define what you mean with adult.

If I could handle being in the same school as my step sister in a mature manner than so can you with your brother.

Ignore him, that's what I do when I see certain people I don't want to talk to. Just don't make it too obvious that you're ignoring him (like having your head turned completely to the side when you're walking).

Good news everyone. My brother's programme is at the other campus at the other side of town, and so we don't see each other at all.

It has to be karma.

I can't tell how much of Astner's awkwardness is him being Swedish and communicating in a non-native language and how much is just him.

I've have conversations with several Swedish people (Mostly people I've met on here honestly), all of whom having a grasp on English superior to most of my peers (Sweden apparently has a good English program, that also happens to be mandatory), and Astner too is very fluent.

I'm pretty sure it's him.

I would do what I do with most people I don't like: pretend I didn't see them as they past (or nod curtly).

I'm beginning to suspect that the only reason any of you find my witticism awkward is due to your own social detachment.

No.

id say grow up eventually you become friends. Your relationship has to change anyways, why not just act like a friend.

You haven't actually mentioned what the dilemma is?
He's your younger brother, you should be looking out for him NOT being ashamed of him.

Esau Cairn is right. You're older than him, be mature enough.
