I'm really concerned about my only friend, /r9k/. We're not normies so it's hard to help him but he basically just told me he's dead inside and finds it very hard to relate to humans being at all. He hasn't had a single friend or person he talks to outside of work for the past 12 years, he has no family and has never had a girlfriend in the time that I've known him. All he does is play videogames, read books and sometimes drink at home.
Normally I wouldn't mind but he just randomly quit his job last week and hasn't talked to me ever since. I fear he might be suicidal but I also question whether I even have the right to call him and question his life decisions. As a true friend, what should I even do here?

Call him, say what's on your mind. That's all you can do.

He doesn't like people meddling in his business though.

The only reason I posted is I can kinda relate. My situation isn't as dire, but I've completely isolated myself from the few friends I had over the years and distanced myself from family. Then I lost my second gf, who left me broken, which bled through to my work life. I lost my job and delved even deeper into alcholism.
The thing is I'm really sociable when I'm forced to be, like at work or with family, but have this desire to unhinge any real relationships. On the outside I'd seem as someone who is in control, but really I'm fucking scared and lost in vice and routine. I wish someone would be persistent enough to help me, but at the same time I'm too ashamed to let people get close to me and see how fucking...Sad, I guess, I really am

Hm, I see. SO you think he might be distancing from others out of something internal he fears as opposed to hating the external everything?

Speaking from experience, sometimes embarrassment about what you've become makes it difficult to appreciate outreach superficially, but I can almost guarantee you reaching out in a non-judgmental way can be helpful.

suck his dick or send a hooker to his place.

Very well. I wasn't trying to judge him or anything, I'm just genuinely concerned so I will try to be careful with my choice of words.

Exactly. People who hate everything almost always do so because it makes hating themselves easier. Easy example would be Chads and Roasties here, it's easier to judge than be judged.
