Hi there!
I'm sorry you're feeling that way. Seeing him must remind you of bad times..
But if you two are really good friends as you say, even if he has a troubled life, it's not like he won't understand. I say you could just talk to him and tell him you started to feel anxious because the way he looks reminds you of his brother(I assume he knows about his brother bullying you) Tell him just what you said, that he is nothing like his older brother and that you care about him very much.. It might be hard to actually say sth like this to him but if you don't talk to him about it, especially because the two of you are so close, then who else should you talk to?
Good luck! x
