My own brother don t care about me, only when he needs something.... What should I do?

So, let me explain real quick. I m 27y old female. I left my country and came to live in the US 5 y ago and basically didnt visit my family for 5 years, but I sill comunicate with my mom and dad every week. The problem is that my brother completely forgot about me. I try to talk to him, message him, he never gets back to me. The only time he gets back to me is when he need something.I asked him how come he s always busy but he finds time for Facebook. I feel so bad because I have no family here and no boyfriend or anything like that abd I have been fighting to be independent. In the end I can t believe he became like this...Its not easy..What should I do?

    You can't FORCE someone to care about you.

    All you can do is not help him when he needs something.

    Stop pushing for a relatinship. If he later realizes he wants to have a relationship with you, he will get in touch. But don't just agree to do him favors, or give him money, or whatever. That just encourages his selfishness.

    You'll have to do what so many other people have done, create a "family" from the people around you, that you're close to.

    What shuld you do???? Not let him take advantage of you, that's what!!!

    Look, you can't control how people feel or behave. If he doesn't care, he doesn't care. Sorry. Get on with your life.
