Not sure if I’m posting in the right place… If this is posted in the wrong place please feel free to move it.
This is about my brother, not me. Since both of our parents are gone, it is just us now, I really cannot afford to and don’t want to lost him. So I’m really afraid for him and trying to help him out but it is so difficult since he’s so good at hiding everything that I didn’t even really know what he was facing until just about half a year ago.
My brother is 32 years old and deaf. He has a decent career and is doing well in life and he seems to be happy to most people. However deep inside, he’s really lonely.
I only found out because not long after I moved in with my finance, my brother pretty much stops stay in touch. When I finally caught up with him, he told me that since I have my own life and all of his friends are either married or have kids, he don’t really see much point in living any more.
He says he’s just tired of life because he feels like nobody ever wants to be around him at all. He complained that at most, if he’s lucky, women will want to be with him because of his good looking just until they’re done with him or find someone else. But most of the time they just lead him on or flakes on him.
He also complains that most of his friends no longer want to be around him because he’s single.
I have tried to help him get a date but… women usually flake on him. It is so frustrating. I manage to get him to do online dating, he did manage to get few replies and I even helped him with answering and everything just to make sure he isn’t doing anything stupid. To my surprise, he barely needs any help. But when he tells them he’s deaf, they stop talking to him and if they didn’t, they usually lost interest in him.
He’s really active in many different things, but he doesn’t really connect with most people at all besides very few.
So I’m just so lost now. I am really afraid that he’ll not show any clue and go suicide at any time. I don’t know what to do any more. I’m really hoping there are a advice or something that can help.
