The hardest part is seeing that this person is playing your feelings to cover up their lack of self well being.
Take a moment to put pennies in a jar to save up for the tooth, if that is what you really want to save money for.
If you set a goal and you have the means to take on a part-time job strictly for that goal, then do that.
You take control of the conversation by being kind and saying thank you, change the subject, and move on.
Every time your brother is negative, respond in positive firm kind words, and walk away.
This walk away can be just inside of your head, it's enough to break the usual pattern of conversation.
You are NOT responsible for your brother's words. You are responsible for your well-being and your actions. By changing your response and reaction, you will change the situation because the usual response will no longer fit.
Best wishes.
The only way to stop any nonsense from these people is to remove yourself from their lives. You cannot expect them to change. That rarely ever happens in life.
Removing stress and stressors from your life is the path to recovery and change in one's life, IME. You must make the changes, not try to change them as only you know what it is that you wish out of life.
It is better to be alone then to be around such people who are causing you harm, IMO. And you dont have to be alone. There are many people who will not be toxic to you, but you need to find them.
