So my big brother stays up every night to 3am playing video games. I’m still in highschool and have to go to bed at around 10pm to wake up at 6am.

The problem is I can’t fucking sleep because brother always talks loud, screams and rages when he plays video games with his friends. My room is basically right next to his and I can hear almost everything. This has been going on for weeks and months now and at times my dad yells at him for being so fucking loud and then they get into an argument.

I tell my brother to shut up but he won’t really listen to me if I don’t get angry with him. I can tell him to shut up whilst holding frame and being assertive at the same time but he just doesn’t take me seriously. If I get really angry and yell at him (frame broken) he will start to actually listen. Although I can be assertive while holding frame, I feel if I break frame it allows me to be even more assertive and threatening to him which is when he actually listens.

tdlr; cannot sleep at night because brother always yells and rages at night when playing video games with his friends. I can tell him to shut up (not getting angry, holding frame whilst still being assertive) but he doesn’t really listen and take me seriously unless I get angry as fuck and yell the shit out of him (breaking frame) to which he starts respecting me
