What would cause someone to isolate themselves this much? My

he's been reading /pol/

How the fuck should I know, he's your brother.

Untreated social anxiety, maybe?
Autism?
Depression he doesn't admit to?

Regardless, you should stay in contact.

many things, i dont want to say mental illness because i plan to do the same thing, move away, and cut contact with many, if not all people


someone people just want to be alone, if you want you could visit him, see the condition of his place, draw conclusions from that

but sometimes people just want to be alone, so let him rock on his ones

I'm pretty isolationist as well. I don't think I'm very good at conversing with most people. I frequently feel isolated when I'm in public as well- I just find it very hard to connect with people. Maybe your brother's just a weirdo like me.

Seems to me that you aren't really communicating well with him. Constant calling and ask 'why this, why that' wouln't solve much. Try and reconnect witb him step by step.

This comes frome someone that is is a similar situation. Broke with my girl of three years(cheating with a friend and some strangers). So a lot of our commob friends vanished because i don't care being around two face people.

Also broke off some connections with old friends just because i got fed up with their toxic behaviour, and yes, the break up did affect my abillity to maintan calm in stressful situations. Hell, barely handling work stress now, before was easy as pie, now not so much.

And spending time with families really seems like a choir. Don't get me wrong, they are the only people in the world i trully love and would die for (and secretly saving funds each month for everyone).


Tldr: try to connect with him in a different manner, don't just call and nag. He may going through some dark times, traumatic experiences maybe. Stuff that shaker your believes and inner core.

Good idea, I'm going to see when I can go see him next. My kids miss him anyway

He is kind of eccentric in a way, He stumbles over his words a little when he speaks to someone he doesn't know or doesn't speak to often. But he's been like that since high school and he still managed to get girlfriends and have women interested in him, Idk...

I understand. Maybe I have been nagging too much....Just worried/frustrated I guess.

It kinda upset me he didn't come to my daughters birthdays last year

Because family is a drag desu. I did the same with all of my extended family and grandparents. When you look back you realize just how insipid your relationships were all those years and quite frankly I'm not going to keep up the charade of being close to people I don't care for.
