My brother’s a few years younger than me. It was pretty recently I got better from a decade long illness that put me into a semi conscious and half bedbound state. I have almost no memory of that decade and now I’m adjusting. I had spent a whole year getting used to being able to eat properly again. When I was ill my classmates who I was friends with moved cities and kinda moved on so I’m back to square one and feel a bit lost. I have close friends but they’re American and it’s online, nothing in person. I’m single and only have 2 friends who are American and who I speak to over Discord. Recently I finished therapy and the therapist told me that friendships are important. Sometimes my brother goes out with his mates (don’t know how many of them are girls but I don’t mind either way) and I was wondering if it’d be weird to want to want to tag along sometimes as a start?
Not weird to ask. Just don’t invite yourself without asking. That might be a little weird.

The only thing I can think that would make it weird is how many years difference and which years.
13 & 17 would be weird
but 23 & 27 wouldn’t be

Not saying my exact age but we’re all well into adulthood

Definitely not weird then. Sounds like you get along and have similar interests. If anything it’s weird he hasn’t invited you.

Ya, go.
He should be honoured that you wanna hang, and same with his friends.
The best recommendations are word-of-mouth and face-to-face, so get rocking!

If I were him I would absolutely love to take you out and share friends with you. He loves you.
