My Step Brother is a hermit.

[iMiserable]

BEFORE YOU CLOSE THIS...This is not a "I hate my sibling" thread. This kid does nothing but watch TV, Play video games, or watch naruto in youtube. He has NO friends, and no outdoor life. He is a vegetable.

I want to find a way to get him off his ass and meet people. I'm afraid for his sake that he'll turn into an Anti-social prick like my uncle. I need to get him active. I want him to live a life with people to interact with.

I need some pointers. How can I motivate him? How can i help him become friendly?

I turn to you, With all your wisdom, to help not me, but HIM.

[FullFistMaria]

How old is he?

[NinjasAreBetter]

Get him a hooker. That helped my uncle

[tehsloth]

Youtube is his friend.

[BlueHippopotamus]

Get him interested in playing sports - the team dynamic in athletics brings the most introverted people out of their shells eventually.

Or just have him sign up on Newgrounds and embrace his anti-social behavior.

Its you isin't it?

Stay inside yourself and act homosexual around him. Luckily for you, he may get out more.
Unlucky for you, horrible experiences may result.

He is thirteen. He has never had a girlfriend, and has friends who laugh at him behind his back, Hence, no friends.

Thirteen and no girlfriend is somewhat resonable... he probably just started highschool and he's going through an awkward part of life.

I suggest you beat him up.

No. I go outside plenty, have friends, and I am well-liked by my peers.

Do you have any positive comments? If not, this is a serious thread. So leave.

I agree, or just generally suspicious hand movements in the ole pants whenever he enters a room.

lol, easy there. Anyway I did comment about the situation, go read it.

Leave him alone and mind your business.

[jaksmillie]

Invite one of your friends over and have him/her have a friendly conversation with him.

I did. You told me to beat him up. If you aren't going to be positive, you are to leave.

[averageroadkill]

Leave this thread open the next time he goes on the computer. He'll get the picture.

[Sheepshifter]

Aw, when I saw "Hermit" I thought you meant he lived exclusivly outiside...

I say let him be, he'll eventually realise what a bad choice he's made and go outisde more.

Or you die.

Leave him alone. When I was younger all I wanted to do was stay inside and be myself. It was nothing to do with being lazy, I wanted to stay in and draw or paint, or do creative things. But I was forced to go outside and play ridiculous sports such as football. If he wanted to go outside, he could. It's not right for you to want to try and force new things on him.

[Overlord32]

Why not embrace being a hermit?

Rape him.

Whew, glad THAT'S outta my system.

Well, the only advice I can give you is to take him out yourself and show him some fun.. how big of an age difference is there between you two?

I'm sure you could find something to enjoy together.

Judging by his profile they're the same age...
Hey OP, why don't you be his friend, asshole?

[Daftvillain]

One of the few things airsoft 'guns' are good for is shooting lazy people... Find a cheap one and shoot him until he goes outside. Then, if nothing else, he can at least be a hermit.

Give him a big hug and tell him you are there for him.

it was a joke... how do you not understand that

[Mendou]

You can't force him to go outside and socialize, you can talk to him or encourage him to. If he simply doesn't want to then don't give him a tough time about it.
