Ten Idle, grief doesn't have a time table. If other people tell you that you are grieving "too long" and "dragging it out" that is probably because they are uncomfortable dealing with your grief. That's about them, not about you.
I was 15 when my brother died. I'm 59 now. I still miss him. As Winter4Me said though, the pain softens with the passage of time.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be by yourself on your birthday. Maybe you could do something special to remember your brother that day?
