How can I help my brother?
in Psychology & Therapy ·
Try getting him onto this forum. Tons of threads here might catch his interest 😁
But besides that, sounds like he’s just one of those guys who doesn't feel the need to be social 24/7. Doesn't mean he's shy or awkward, you know? Your brother is actually a perfect example—he can hang with the crowd just fine, he just doesn't go looking for it.
If he's really that locked in on school and his social skills are actually improving every year, then things are definitely moving in the right direction. No need to stress too much.
Just keep talking to him when he needs an ear or someone to vent to. Let him know you've got his back. Even if it's something tiny, like grabbing him a coffee or picking up some printouts for class if he's in a rush—those little gestures matter. It shows him he's got someone in his corner he can lean on =)
Honestly, I didn't quite catch what's bothering him, other than those three years he lost (which is a wound that'll heal easier than you think)
Did he say he's just bummed about not starting college right away, or is there something else going on?
P.S. You're a great sister 🙂

I didn't just start worrying out of nowhere. He actually came to me a few times over the last ten days expressing how unhappy he is.
