i used to be like that. It's not a mental disorder. It's a life and attitude disorder.
I went through a number of very particular life experiences to learn my lesson. From losing friends to even being homeless for a few weeks because of how badly I've acted and how unprepared I was for life without relying on my parents. Especially after I moved out 10 years ago.
It sounds like your friend needs a very quick and significant adjustment to curb his attitude.
I, at the time, did not have ANYONE to help me out. Given that he's got a sseemingly good friend in you to ask around at least, I'd say do something about it. Not only that, you guys need to give him an ultimatum and see how he acts on it.
It's always hard in these situations. It's like you're seeing someone you care about walking towards the edge of a cliff, intended on jumping off. And the more you pull them back, the more they're inclined to do it.
Do a bit of pulling, and see what happens.
if he resists....well...Sometimes the best thing is to let'em jump off, and realize it mid-fall that they're gonna be in a world of pain.
GL, OP.
