Ok, this is a wierd question, but I figure i'll try asking you people. So at school I hang out with my cousin, but it kinda sucks cause he's so antisocial he won't talk to anybody. He really doesn't have any friends, which is kinda sad cause he's gone there 2 years before I started going there. I hung out with him at the beginning of the year because I didn't know anyone yet, but now I know quite a few people. I wanna go hang out with these new people, but I feel bad just ditching my cousin. I don't really wanna bring my cousin with me to these new people, because I'm afraid it might be a little awkward, because he'll just sit there and not talk. I'm also a little afraid of him being there when I talk to my friends about such drug habits I might have, because frankly I don't trust him not to tell anyone in my family. And to be quite honest my cousin is kind of annoying and it's really getting on my nerves. What do you guys think I should do?
I wouldn't worry about it. Hang out with who you want. If he's not going to talk to people when in a group, he's probably not too concerned about having friends. You can offer to let him hang out with you and your friends once in a while, if you want to try and break him out of his shell. However I don't think you should feel obligated.
Well, you could always invite him along to some party, introduce him to your friends, then go chat with someone else... Don't just toss him out there without introducing him & mentioning something interesting about the other person (whatever, just something to talk about), but don't babysit him all nite either. If he has fun, cool. If not, the next time you say you have plans with those friends, he will probably claim to be busy...
