What do you know about his social life? According to OP, he's a gamer.
In my experience, many of us meet IRL people, all thanks to video gaming (online).
Nothing senseless about a fellow gamer who's defending my nigga against people who believe everyone must have 1k fake niggas as "friends".
True, theres a difference to introversion and being socially awkward. Theres no justifying having 0 social lifeThere’s a difference between being an introvert and having no friends at all. Introverts have one or two friends at the very least and still leave their house sometimes
Difference between introvert and antisocial. My sister’s an introvert but she still maintains some friends. Teaching to at least know how to interact with people without making things awkward is an asset.Nothing sad with being an introvert.
He has his own world and does no harm; as he's a gentle and hard-working kid.
Mind your business, OP. Somalis like you are too intrusive.
The word ur looking for is probably not antisocial, antisocial is what u see in sociopaths where they are totally unable to emotionally connect with people, anyways what u said I agreeDifference between introvert and antisocial. My sister’s an introvert but she still maintains some friends. Teaching to at least know how to interact with people without making things awkward is an asset.
Maybe OP’s exaggerating and her brother’s not as bad as she thinks he is. But from what she’s said her brother’s probably not alone by chose. Also, no clubs/extracurricular’s gonna look bad for uni applications.
What do you think’s gonna happen when he moves out? He’s going to be stuck between work and gaming/surfing the internet. Again this is an extreme case.
He’ll probably make friends and meet people in college. But you need to stop associating antisocial behaviour with introvertedness.
” Who believe everyone must have 1k fake niggas as ”friends”.
This sentence shows that you are not approaching this discussion from a good place. You are ignorant. You are basing your whole point on your personal life and imagining yourself at his place. You are not him. You have negative views on friends kulaha ” 1k fake niggas”. Thats a bad look on life saaxiib.
Anyways lets end our back and forth here, we are deraillng the topic in hand.
Sounds like he’s 15 ish this is the age that a lot of Somali youths start associating with crime, gangs, weed etc. The fact he is at home is not that bad of a thing. I’m sure he’ll grow out of it.First if nothing is wrong with your brother. The way you’re approaching this is all wrong. Did you check the environment his in? Maybe his preserving himself. Maybe his scared knowing how young men are these days good for him. If you want to help him be his friend for now take him out yourself and stop prettying him that wont help. How old is he?
Shit I didn’t really have friends growing up either lolI have a younger brother who has no friends and hasn’t had any for a long time. I feel a little bad for him, he just goes to school and his part time job and comes home he never goes out. I remember when we went to his middle school graduation and we were taking pictures and we suggested that we take some of him and his friends and he was like “I don’t have any” we were like huhhh
He’s a nice kid, just shy. I also think he has some form of social anxiety as well because it’s hard to get him to go on family outings, he would rather play video games in his room. He had friends when he was young but when we moved to another city he stopped making friends. My parents don’t mind and even like that he stays home a lot because they say that way he won’t get himself into trouble. But idk, I think it’s a sad way to live. At his age I had so many friends and was always out during the summer and had the best time. How do I help him
