Answer:
You need to persue your goals like that's the only thing in the world if you want it bad enough and you try your hardest than it'll happen. Stop caring about what your brothers say about you because they're probably going to end up in a harmful situation. Why don't you move out or something?

Move out and do what you need to do on your own... I'm not even 22 yet and I've been living on my own since I was 18.

first never let them get to your head, by that I mean convert you to their lifestyle

second Move away if applicable
tell the police they are selling drugs
tell the police about their guns if they are not registered
if you are afraid of retaliation, get a restraining order.

GET RICH, you don't have to explain yourself and MUCH MUCH more when you're rich.

Stay focused on what YOU want, professionally and personally, and keep focused and keep on going, regardless of your brothers. You are old enough that you can begin to put up barriers between them and you, even if it includes talking to a lawyer. Your future is worth it, trust me, and you can separate yourself from all the trash, so do it. And regardless of what they or the rest of your family thinks, you tell them that a mental health professional with 20+ years experience in psychiatric and substance abuse issues, now retired, gave you this free "advice", and encourages you strongly to follow it. God Bless you.

no matter how many times they put you down or try to bring you backwards keep pushing for what you want. in 20 years time you want to have made something with your life. as for the girlfriend thing girls can see through crap talked by your brothers, if they cant they are not worth wasting your time on, you want someone to stand by you and be with you, not someone who gets sucked onto gossip and believes other ppl over you. just keep going, it will be hard but oh so worth it in the end. ppl have the problem of only seeing the here and now and think this is it, but in 2 years, 5 years, etc etc everything changes.

Since you are 22, you can leave your parents house and find your own place to live. It better be a good distance away from your brothers. Then you won't have to worry so much about them, they probably won't move because they have old customers which always buys drugs from them.

Getting bullied by younger siblings? That won't do. Pull yourself up and assert yourself. If you can't, get away, start living on your own and pursue your dreams.
