Theres this guy that stays on the same floor as me in the dorm and hes has some serious social problems. He has trouble fitting in and hes told us (people on the hall) that were the first friends hes ever had in his life!
Hes opened up to us a good deal but hes one annoying son of a b*tch. He says some really akward stuff (that'll leave u thinking to yourself "did he just say that?"), he stands too close to people when he talks, he can't read body language for anything, he makes little things big deals, and tries to copy our behaviors to fit in (but it comes off really weird), i could keep going but i think the point has been made.
I've met a few people like him before (they just can't fit in) and i've learned theres actually a disorder for this called dyssemia. I read up on it and this really sounds like him, even though i'm no mental doctor.
Well this problem just doesn't go away on its own, it'll follow him all his life unless something is done. The bad thing is he doesn't realize hes off. So number 1 we need to let him know about his disorder and number 2 we need to give him an action plan to overcome it.
Well my question is how should we break this news to him without crushing him? I have a couple ideas but i would appreciate some other opinions.
