[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you so much to those who took the time to write thoughtful replies. There's a reason why I am posting on an anonymous forum -- I am often overwhelmed with the shame knowing that my family situation has spiraled out of control for such a long time. I can't talk about this with friends and family because they often don't know what to say, and it's humiliating. My sibling is well past that window of a typical AED (which I would guess is between 18-30). When someone is pushing 40 and still has avoidant personality issues, anxiety, depression, and can't and won't do anything about it - I honestly don't know if anything can be done. :( But the resources pointed out are extremely helpful.

I’m reviving this thread because my 19yr.old son is failing to embrace life and has been offered many opportunities but he just can’t embrace them.  I think he is afraid of boredom, he’s a gamer and craves that safe zone.  He managed to finish high school but that was almost a year ago.  Since then he’s gone to one job interview and they offered him the job but he turned it down.  It’s so sad, he was such a bright kid who loved play dates but he no longer fits anywhere.[/quote]
