I think being transparent is a good thing. I think there is a lot of energy expended pretending to be something we are not. How would it feel to be who you are instead of trying to prove something to your brothers?

I can't have people thinking I'm weak
What does that even mean? Why is it so important what others think? Are you sure people think you are weak? Is it so bad to be "weak"? What does weak mean to you--being nice, kindhearted, emotional, lacking in morality, easily tempted, conformist? What does it mean?
