a guy friend of mine refuses to talk to people alot, and he usually sits in the corner of his room and cries and hes extreamly afraid of people. He spazes out alot, and he twitches and his eyes roll around and he talks funny. Hes really nice but people dont give him a chance, they treat him horribly, and now he fears them.. Im not sure whats wrong with him but hes always sad and hurts himself... Hes a good friend, and I want to help him, what do I do?

Make sure he knows you are there for him, willing to help, no matter what. And actually do that.

It's good that he feels well around you. I knew a guy who was in a similar situation and after a few months he just left school because no one cared about him, so it's important that you keep supporting him. At the same time it's important that he socializes with everyone else, even tho people make fun of him. That's something he will have to overcome, otherwise he'll turn into a social freak and won't be able to have a normal life. Slowly introduce him to your friends.
Oh and don't tolerate offences against him. Stand up for him as you would for a friend without fighting or insulting the idiots who attack him. Just show you're on his side

I show im on his side=D even when hes not around. I can not stand when people go, why do you hang out with that 'retard'. I mean seriously, wtf? The kid cant help how he is, except him or get the f* over it, u dont have to like him, but u dont have to make fun of him. Hes extreamly nice, and thats all that matters. Another problem is that he wont eat much bc people always call him fat, and he weighs like nothing...I can get him to eat, but im not there 24/7, every time I go over, hes sitting in the dark in the corner of his room hurting himself...its so sad..it makes me cry just thinking about it

oh and one last question, if he has spazms in like his eyes and arms and stuff, and his eyes roll around, does that mean hes having a sezuire?

People treating him badly has made him not want to even try to socialize with them.

You said you plan to hang out tonight.  I don't think you should bring a friend over.  

If you want to help him get more friends you should talk to some of your own and tell them about him.  Also tell them if they would like to be rejected like he has been so they should treat him nicely as they want to be.

thats a good idea, I actually wanted to try something, what do you think of this?

Bringing him to my house and showing him my wii and stuff, my dad may not be the nicest guy in the world, but he is understanding of stuff like that, thats y he lets me sleep over his house, even though hes a boy=D so my dad would pick him up and drop him off so he didnt have to walk, and his parents would let him since they trust me=D, thats an idea?
