5 years ago I met through friends a person who became my very good friend now. He is comes from Philippines and since 5 years living in Germany. I’m still learning how huge the differences are between the weary European and philipino culture. He is very skilled at work but he is socially very bad. What I mean? At the beginning I thought he is just shy and a bit clumsy.But throughout the years I noticed that it is not the whole thing.He can’t be on his own, he has to do everything in a group.Even when we were in Philippines, his homeland. When our group of friend decided to have separate day(everyone got different things to do) he was lost like a baby. I told him he can come with me. From pity. On this trip, we were doing island hopping, he didn’t bring the towel with him. Took his things in plastic bag. He never had any gf, hookup, no romantic/ sexual contact with a girl. Even though he is almost 40. We as a friend group supporting him, he is always invited and included, but we are all slowly moving forward with families, personal life and looks like he is very lost. He expressed many times, he wants to meet someone, we are always there to help. But he is very passive. He listens and then unable to take any actions. He never did anything in direction to personally improve.Nothing. At the beginning of the friendship I though he needs time, but Im slowly realizing that is not the case. I’m feeling helpless. I want to help but I don’t know how. Can you help me please? Maybe some insight into Philipino culture? At work he is a manager. But in life. It’s hard to be witness of that. Please give me any idea
