Your brother and I have a lot of things in common. I also have very little life experience. Much less work experience. Since I was a child I've had bad social anxiety. I loathe calling potential employers and going to interviews. It sucks but I really don't have much choice. Only positive is that I don't have dependents (wife, child). I'm really tired of this. I wanna have a life, not this shit.

Was your brother able to get out of his rut?

P.S. Sorry for the bump, but this hit home somewhat.





I don't know, time will tell when I visit him tomorrow.  He found a steady job at a water plant, so at least he's able to provide for his family.  My parents even offered to pay his college loans with their retirement so that he's not so stressed about it, and his response was, "I don't trust you.  You'll probably die before they're paid off."  :shrug: 

Uncalled for in my opinion.

I'd suggest trying to get him to excersise. Its not a huge change but it will make him feel a lot less depressed and make him feel better about himself.  Sitting around all day not doing shit will make anyone depressed, try getting him into a routine and hopefully it will motivate him to do more.

That's good advice, but he already works out everyday. He is a wannabe body builder.  The only thing that gives him joy is looking to see how "big" he is in the mirror.  He also used to use steroids, so maybe that has something to do with his attitude.

Sounds like he needs to find a job then.  Not much you can do except maybe make copies of his resume and try to find him a job.  You really can't help people that don't want to help themselves though, I'd say try you're better off to stop worrying about him.  He can and will get it together eventually, human beings are good at adapting and doing what they need to do when they NEED to do it.  Your parents enabling him doesn't help him, best thing my parents ever did was kick my ass out.

"Happiness is a choice"- Abe Lincoln

"Shut the Fuck up! Learn to buck up!"- CAKE

i believe everyone has the power to change what they don't like about their lives. he needs to grow a pair and get shit done. i would just have a ton of quotes like the above to say to him all the time. but i like quotes.

Words are extremely powerful, so if a person continually speaks and thinks negatively, then they are placing limits on themselves.

Theres nothing you can do to change him, he can only change himself.
Let the universe take care of him, and let him learn from his own choices that he makes in life and the consequences that ensue.

Sounds like a major :feelsbadman:, and IMO I would try to distance myself from such a :feelsbadman:.

Oh well, at least feelsbadman is funny looking at a certain angle, and only amplifies my own :feelsgoodman:.

:feelsgoodman:
