CS Lewis once said that if he knew that someone was one his way over to his house with the expressed purpose of doing him "good", that he himself would run out the back door as quickly and for as far as he could.

Psychologically speaking, behavior is "over determined"---which simply means that there are multiple reasons that we do what we do.

Unless he himself wants to change his behavior, anything you can do will be too little to make a difference.

I personally don’t see why this is any of your business.  What that person does in his own home does is his and his family’s business.

You seem alarmingly obsesseed with this other person’s life. Perhaps you are no less deserving of a psych eval than he is.

Get on with your own life and get your big nose out of his. He is not responsible to live up to your expectations.

Also I have more to say (he says: Depends if something is interesting or not), has a good vocabulary with a great set of English, acts a bit immature (says it is linked to your belief or tradition), always has a fight with his sister  (again depending upon the situation), never steps out and has a talk with us or anyone of his friends, never goes out to play, have shown to the psychiatrist who diagnosed him as normal (as stated and discussed by her mother with reports), according to me he has a little problem of understanding or something more equivalent to it, always dismisses his stance by saying he is lazy, takes hours to actually get ready for a function, talks to his parents in one words usually verbally abusing them for no apparent reason, cannot be a socially active person or normal (according to the deviations of normality and abnormality), cannot usually speak up when something is going around him (good or bad or with a intent of humor), always gets in trouble, as told before he is usually very quiet and silent not speaking much about himself, difficulty in being attracted by the college girls (in our time), never studies (still gets passed, including clearing all the exams), looks odd (when characterised by his face) but equally handsome and beautiful, is white in color (no racism here), intelligent above par. Now about the final part, what is the usual problem of this man, he is my friend but still many of his attributes don't suit his society and tradition followed by his family. I want a in-detail decent context with psychological, behavioral, mental aspects to cover the main habits or problems. Now you decide and cite your opinion correctly (just for the sake of my friend). Anything can we do to change his behavior and certain point of views to make him come back again fetching for us?
