It sounds hard b/c obviously he doesnt value when you have to say, or what opnions you have etc. I + my friends basically coerced a good friend out of playing wow, but that was b/c we were on very good terms and we respect each other's opinions etc, + the guy himself knew wow was bad but it was like a fucking drug, etcetc. Then again there's another friend who wont stop smoking when all of are telling him to fucking stop, so -_-. True - it's doable, but seeing as how he only has one friend, I doubt it is very possible and because I doubt his also lazy friend will do anything about it. I've thought of sending a video or something about what I just typed (OP first post) to his girlfriend (although with less fucktacular hate), seeing as how she's his girlfriend - she must have SOME power of influence on him. | ||

From what you've described, I really can't figure out even a reasonably plausible solution, other than the latest one where the parents force action upon him. He's fucking 22 ffs, has a decent brain (potentially), and is doing well in uni apparently. Go talk to you parents in earnest, kick him the fuck out, move him into a dorm, and force him to work. Work will force him to interact with pple, and who knows, maybe he'll get a RL GF at the local taco bell for all we know. | ||

Yeah he did this for like a month or two. He got a warehouse job @ canadian tire, and tutored two HS friends I know (from another school tho) like 2 years ago, 'cause my parents told him to. After 2 months, he quit because he "had enough money" - adding to the 2 grand that he got for selling his shitty maplestory account. | ||

Given enough time he'll get out of it. You need to chill out and stop being a pussy for noise at 2am (it's not even that late). True, listen to this man. Your brother is probably well aware of his situation and probably doesn't like it as much as you think he does, no 22 year old person wants to sit at home doing nothing but play WoW all days knowing that most people are out living their lives, you'll feel like shit. People like that usually have low self-esteem or something like that which hinders them from taking the step to move out, find a job or whatever. | ||

I am using drugs, probably i will seriously fuck myself and i will be dead, my parents will cry for me in funeral, they will have a really fucking bad life but what ever, I make a decision. I do not care anybody. I enjoy using drugs, fuck off. + Show Spoiler + I know that wow and drugs are not same thing but seriously wow is a kind of drug and he is addicted to it, you got the point imo. | ||

By doing so and acting this way you just prove you're much more stupid than him. That's complete bullshit. Most of the time, you can't save a person from themselves, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. Who gives you that right? That's the right you get when you care for another human being, like a friend or lover or relative. If you hardcore game all day and enjoy it, you probably don't know what that experience is like. To think that you shouldn't try to change someone who's harming themselves is absolutely absurd. When it fails, as it likely will, then you can abandon them, but don't try and play indifference from the start and call yourself a decent human being. To the OP, really your parents have to deal with it. I doubt there's much you can do as a younger brother. | ||

And you just without knowing it, showed a large chunk of that human behaviour that brings disasters upon others. Why do you care ? Just for the very feeling of satisfaction any human beeing can feel upon acting on someone else's life. This is obnoxious. Again you have no fucking right to do so. Go and plant fucking trees, might prove to be much more useful. PS : You watch too much television. | ||
