I wonder what your brother is saying you are running away from. Maybe he feels you are runing away from doing things at home or for the family. It is a confusing phrase without a context.
In regards to running away from how you feel, well getting help and talking things through is not running away, although even in therapy groups and so on hte really troubles you may have maybe pushed aside by you and so not tackled. But at least you are looking for help if you need it.
But I also wonder ho much you do think about your thought and feelings, maybe your brother feels you think too much about them and not so much about whatever you are running away from, your family or something I do not know.
I would not say you brother is mean but I do think he is seeing things differently from you. Firstly I do not know what he is saying you are running away from. Secondly remember he is on the outside looking in at you, you are on the inside looking out and so you will both have very different persepectives.
Ultimately are you runing away from how you feel, maybe not but perhaps he feels you are running away from issues to do with your family and that you are not thinking about family as much as you should taking refuge more inside yourself with whatever problems you have. I dont know you or your brother but maybe this is it. Talking about feelings is good and it helps but if it seems to take over your whole life then that can be unhelpful to others close to you who may feel shut out in someway.
Life is hard and sometimes about balancing so many things, like juggling lots of balls in the air.
