How can I help Brandon?

First of all, I would like to pay tribute to the film's production staff and actors, moved by their keen attention to the details of the film. Brandon's empty and lonely eyes, sad and tight brows, raised forehead with hairline, and in the plot, Brandon's rise up when his sister discovers pornography, his ignorance and indifference to the details of life when dating a black colleague, and his attachment to the past Wait, it's really touching.
Here's my opinion on Brandon's life:
The biggest difference between Brandon's life and a normal person is that there is no love in his life. At first glance, he seems to be leading a normal life with a sexual partner, a sister, and a buddy. However, love, family affection, friendship, these things that ordinary people have, he does not have.
People in modern society should be happier than our previous generation, because this era allows our generation to bloom with bright smiles, instead of always keeping a straight face and suppressing sensibility with reason. However, the proliferation of online games, drugs, and obscene materials makes it easy for many modern people to fall into the abyss of "addiction". After walking through this abyss, the person involved will not only lose a healthy body, but also a healthy mind, especially love. The love of life without reason, the unconscious attention to the details of the lives of family members and loved ones, the gratitude and satisfaction for the natural beauty, all these life patterns that should have been developed and completed when the parties were "enjoyed" were all delayed. , replaced by the unrestricted pursuit of instinct (sex, online games, videos, drugs, etc.), the details of life, knowledge, feelings about the people around you, and your own feelings about what is right or wrong in life. Feel the indifference.
But here, I don't want to blame the client too much, because there are many reasons for this situation, such as an unfortunate childhood with abuse, a broken family without love between parents, etc. It is difficult to distinguish objectively and subjectively, even if it is The parties concerned calmly consider themselves, I am afraid it will be difficult to sort out the clues. My concern is, if you are the client, what can you do to save himself?
I don't have a good answer to this question yet.
