Let's suppose there is a hypothetical tense conversation where one says:

− Maybe you should try to think a little bit (or, "how about you think a
little")

And the other person replies:

− Well, not as much as you need to

How's the following:

> − 少し考えてみたらどうですか  
>  − 考えてみるのはお前ほどう必要がない

question
translation nuances
Sarcastic dialogue "Well, not as much as you need to"
Nice try but the last half of 「考えてみるのはお前ほどう必要がない」 makes little sense.

Native speakers might say:

> 「考{かんが}えてみた方{ほう}がいいのはお前{まえ}だろ！」 or
>
> 「お前の方こそ、考えてみるべきだ。」

This would change the meaning a little bit, but a _**very**_ common reply in
this kind of situation is:

> 「お前に言｛い｝われたくない（よ）！」 or
>
> 「お前にだけは言われたくない（よ）！」

I could make these more "street" and slangy if I wanted but since it's
Christmas time, I will refrain from doing it.
