So I'm just a normie oldfag. Haven't been here in a decade, but I'm glad to see this place is worse than ever.
Got a question for you autists. What is it that enabled you to end up like this? I am trying to head off the almost inevitable future in which my son ends up looking like the attatched pic.
He's socially retarded, barely passing school and has zero interests in anything other than playing vidya in the basement. His favorite food is chicken tenders ffs.
Thankfully he actually still will go outside. For now.
What can I do, in your opinion, to make sure this stops before it goes too far?
Thanks, normie Dad
fuck him in the ass to teach him discipline
Take away his video games it will force him to go out due to sheer boredom
beatings and xanax
make sure he knows to never really bee himself
Forced sports.

Do fun activities with him until you find out what he likes. Then encourage him to keep going

No computer or videogames for him. FORCE him to go to the gym or some other sport activity. FORCE HIM to do it and socialize and get fitter. Hell, make him take "kenjutsu" lessons, which is the weebest sport ever created, but do not let him spend all his time in the basement.

Eh, at this point, just kind of shotgun hobbies at him until something sticks. It sucks not being interested in seemingly anything around with no alternatives aside from vidya.
Actually take control as a father and lead him in certain directions. Never stop forcing him to try things, no matter how much he fails, or how hard it gets.
Be the foundation which he can build from, be a good, strong, masculine father.
I never had a lot of time with my father growing up. He was the only breadwinner, so I was mostly raised by my mom.
She didn't put me in any sports, or activities unless she herself liked the idea of it, and my dad said nothing as he was always worn out from work and didn't want to argue.
I didn't have any contact wth extended family, nor many friends, so I mostly grew up on me and my mother. My mother being a garbage person and a terrible role model, I basically had no chance.
Be there for him, be his god, and as long as you help him along his path, I'm sure he'll be fine.
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to spend a day out with him today. Maybe we can have a decent conversation about what's happening in his life.
Hopefully he has something positive going for him that he just hasn't told me about.
Worst case I'll ban him from his computer and make him spend the summer in some kind of boot camp.

PS something that computers won't take over within twenty years
