[Advice]How should I approach this situation involving a friend?

Best post I have read on here in a while.
I agree with the ppl who said let the family handle it. They are more invested than you are, I assure u.

 

That is why people have more children these days or in the past.

There is always the chance one sibling is going to be challenged in a way, mentally or physically challenged, or becoming the family's black sheep, an outsider and so on.....

The family is the first go to place for all of those issues. You cannot do much about it.

I can only hope this generation of Internet and Anime fanatics can grow out it one day and become valuable members of society or just stay out of trouble.

 

The things you listed about him, they are not bad, so why change it.
well the only thing that you could help is helping him to see what he wants to do with his life, and trying to get a better job so he can a have a better future.

what is wrong with spending his free time playing video games or watching anime? those are his hobbies, whats wrong? if going to parties and flirting with girls is not his thing, then why force him to do something he doesnt want to do?

some people doesnt know how people can get so passionate about watching sports, and follow a team, or how a guy or a girl can be sad or angry if a team loses.

imagine they would say this about you:

I got a friend that I think is a loser, because he gets angry or sad, because his favorite team lost, or because they traded his favorite player, he is over 20 years old but he acts like a kid when he is watching basketball (yells at the TV, and celebrates something he didnt do.)

This pains me, and it isn't because I feel like i'm such some cool douche who can't hang around with lame people, but because I actually wan't him to be happy and right now he seems to be throwing it away.

I've only talked to his brother once about this, and he said that he agrees that his lifestyle isn't healthy, however If I wen't up to him and told him how I felt, he said he would get very offended because he feels content with how he is. And as much as I respect the fact that he feels content, I just don't feel comfortable not trying to help him out, he's just wasting his time in watching basketball, and reading all day basketball stuff and discussing with strangers about basketball in a website.

 

He may be socially awkward but there are worse things, like serial killing. Leave him be until he asks for help/advice.

 

Show him a Zyzz video. That always works
