Something is obviously wrong upstairs with the BIL(fr). Mental health issues are displayed in all forms and a lot them can't be fixed unfortunately.
The beauty of it being your BIL is that yous have a choice to interact or not.
Some family members are under the assumption that you are obligated to deal with their antisocial/unpleasant behaviours because they are family but in reality you most definitely are not.
Keep your sanity & humanity as it seems your BIL has lost both

He has told me in the past he hasn’t got time for this and he didn’t care about my feelings and told me to seek help

That sucks. Try to ignore it. You don’t live with him so keep interactions cordial when you’re around each other then forget about it later

That's life babe. Sorry
You can't change him so the only thing you can do is to change the way you react. My BIL is an asshole too and all I do is say hi and bye. It works for me but won't work for everyone 😊
