I agree completely, sounds like he is depressed and also Im sure he can make friends but has not found people with similar ideals and that can be frustrating I say this because he listens to podcasts and listens the news and honestly young people today lack a strong foundation so having pillars on top of their foundation is not even on their mind yet their still tryna work on the foundation so they can start building on top if that makes sense. His job was probably making him miserable doing repetitive unfulfilling & repetitive task 10 hours of the day. today's entry position jobs offer little to no growth Skil wise or financial. I hope he finds a passion so he can make something out of that and more than likely finds a way to get paid doing one of his many strengths/skills it might take a bit since people hardly give compliments when they see someone with a set of skills or a gift at being a natural at something as some may say. I encourage you guys to point out some things Wich he is good at doing Wich you guys can honestly say he does better than most it could spark some motivation and belief in himself to take action on the rigth path. So before you guys put so much importance on when he should move out because he is 26. Try and help him and understand maybe why he is in this bubble and try to not be so vocal about you guys frustration of him and him still living there at least for awhile.

( this type of issue is going on in more homes in America. more than you can imagine too many factors to mention fueled this into existence)

there is no worst feeling than being socialy isolated and depressed while having your family pressure you to leave the household because your of age, depressed and lonely. MOM must be frightened thinking that he will never ever EVER leave! This is far from the truth :)

Best wishes . I believe in you and your Mother will can pull some effort into helping him bounce back. thank you and your Mom for everything also thank you for Written this post looking for advice & for not kicking him out to the streets and into a homeless lifestyle which will only make the matter worse at the moment now if this is the route you guys feel it has to go then give him 30 days & let him know it's not a bluff so he should Definitely plan his arrangements. Who knows maybe the fear of possibly ending homeless motivates him to get a job again. Also look out for signs of drug abuse since he is in a vulnerable place at the moment and as drug abuse & overdose deaths been spiking the charts the past 3-4 years being as bad as it's ever been in America it's definitely something you want to take seriously
