my friend never seems to be happy anymore.

first off, we’re both men. i’m 19, he’s 18 (carl). carl used to be very energetic, sweet, affectionate, and happy.

lately, he’s been very down, which is of course uncharacteristic of carl. whenever i ask if he’s okay, he insists he’s fine, but doesn’t want to talk about it.

everything sucks to him, his energy is very low, he usually is tired. he doesn’t really care about anything either and his personality completely changed.

for background, he gets harassed and yelled at a lot for being neurodivergent, and also ::: spoiler trigger

sexually harassed

idk what the exact issue is because he doesn’t want to say. i have no clue how to help.
