I have an 18yo who is virtually a recluse. He seems really anxious and suddenly from being the most outgoing kid on the block he's now worried about having to speak to anyone.
I seem to make things worse when I try to help.

Hi, Sounds like something major must have happened to produce such a change in behaviour. Could it be something with a girl or a friend that's knocked his confidence? Be sure its not drugs, even the most unlikely person could be tempted by them if feeling vunerable.

Its hard to really comment because I know how much you don't want anything bad to be happening and obviously I don't know him or you. So don't want to be overly dramatic suggesting diffeent things that could have triggered this change.

Hopefully what ever is going on will blow over and he'll return to his old self.
