Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

A list of activities does not a personality describe. I was as busy as your brother in high school (and actually did most of the same things as him, except marching band and swimming instead of marathon running - my best friend was the runner) and I KNOW my motivations weren't on your list or even implied in your original set up. Most of my friends were that busy, in fact, and their various motivations weren't on the list either.

Knowing the wider context for the ADD bit, however, I actually feel really sad for your brother. And no, knowing that he's a person and not a collection of hobbies tossed on a page, I don't see what you see. What's unforgivably perfect in a character is often true in humans. The difference is that stories/characters have to make sense and people don't. Also, a lot of how a character is perceived comes down to how they're written and your summary of your brother's life did him no favors.

But let's focus on you for a moment. Your brother isn't perfect and it's unrealistic of you to assume that it all comes so easily to him. Rather than seething over his "perfection", do something that'll make you feel good about yourself. When you're happier and more content in yourself, you'll waste less time comparing yourself to your brother and feeling like you've come up short. You're every bit as unique as he is... you just have different strengths. Find your own strengths, discover your own hobbies, and make yourself happy. (And be grateful that he's so insufferably happy now. The alternative is pretty horrible.)
