I know a guy like that who's _42._ He surfs the Internet now, but before that it was all porn and comics. He had one job in his entire life -- it was very simple-minded and required no initative or little human contact. When the company closed he retreated to his rent-free house (owned by Mom) and stayed there with his porn and guns and comics and DSL connection and didn't try to find another one. His money ran out some time back, his credit cards are about maxed out, never goes out except to shop, bathes every two weeks, never cleans, never maintained the house up like he promised so Mom is about to kick him out, won't take any suggestions, barely knows how to hold a real conversation anymore. Never had a girl, ever.
Is he depressed? Probably. At any rate, he's in a rut he's unwilling or unable to get out of. Xsas, this is the extreme dark side of what can happen if a guy never gets his act together. Do whatever you can to make sure your brother doesn't go here. Yes, 90 percent of counselors are crap, but 90 percent of everything is crap. He should keep trying with counselors until he finds a good one.
