There is a bad situation back home, bordering or there with abuse and neglect. Being violently ignored, shown no respect as a human being, learnt nothing about normal relationships and how they proceed.
The person is a young adult, left entirely by themselves. They went through school where people were put together daily and had no choice but to spend time together. Now they act friendly, they talk, etc., they don't have trouble with anxiety etc. but they cannot really build long-term meaningful relationships or feel close to people. They have trouble talking or keeping conversations going. Keeping to ask questions just does not lead anywhere. They can't hold conversations for more than a certain short time, for example, and feel very alone and alienated. Still they are left to fend for themselves since early age, despite actual relationship difficulties and being left alone. They feel like they have a lot to give but feel stunted. They feel lonely and like something is missing. Like if they were old, they would have no one to call. They spend their days in bed, sleeping and on internet but they are not depressed. They can feel worse if they work and see they cannot build meaningful relationships. Sometimes the more they work, more alienated they feel, strangely. Sometimes they would rather go home than vegetate like that and be on their own but that is harmful. They just don't know how to bring the other person closer or get to know them. Therapists are not really helpful, home they are left hanging by themselves (not answered to, cold unrelated responses, etc.). Psychiatrists mainly give pills. Social coaches do not see them as they go about their day so they could tell what they are doing wrong. They feel separated all the time. They cannot live this way anymore as it is not a life.
So, what would you do in this case? Where and who could help? What can be done so they can live a fulfilling life?
Thank you for any good advice.
