my brother hates me and humiliates me- Is this normal?

ok so here's the thing. i'm 31 years old and a year ago my brother came to live with me and my parents, along with his gf and their baby.
he doesn't treat me even civil, he's always calling me names like you're so fat, look how terrible you look, or he sais things like" get a job you bum, you loser...." or " look at all your friends and other people your age and younger.... they all work, they're all successful, they're married with kids...." he'd even order me to go upstairs to my room, and lots of time he'd tell me to take a shower, that i smelled, and to change my shirt....
the thing is i live on social security, and i haven't worked in around 10 years, and also my higiene is i guess bad cause i've gotten comments from my mom and dad as well.....
so like i can't say there's no reasone for them and my brother to tell me these things.....so i try to make an effort to improve my higiene, but like it still hurts my feelings and humiliates me and makes me very angry and frustrated.
they see me as an utter failure in every aspect, and really i am so unhappy and depressed in my life.
what can i do to make things better?
is my brother right for treating me this way?
Do you think it's normal?

Dude, I dunno why you're on social security so I won't judge in that respect, but take a damn shower. No one wants to be around someone that is greasy and unwashed and smelly. Start taking a shower first thing in the morning and always wear clean clothes. You'll feel much better about yourself. Brush your teeth two or three times a day and wash your face at night and you'll feel like a million bucks. Keep your room neat and help around the house a bit. Clutter and mess can be very irritating and depressing.
Maybe this person has a mental health issue that is making this person do these things
Leave her be And Get A Life!!

P.S. Bug Off
get the hell out of your parents house, get a job, and take a 3 hour shower.

good luck :)

dear lotusgirl

you don't have to be so harsh- 3 hour shower??
i'm not THAT bad, 20 minute shower will do.
and i've said (did u read) that i try to make more effort to improve my hygene.
as i stated in my letter, i've had emotional and mental issues, so i haven't worked more than couple of weeks here and there for the last 10 years.
but i agree with you about the moving out and getting a job part- even though i have no skills and am not good at anything useful so i don't know what i can do.
i get social security which is pennies but i don't spend a lot, i'm very practical and fruitful so it usually lasts the month through.
sorry for being harsh
all im saying is that live your life and make the most out of it
just try your best in everything and be happy
ya know
