My DS is 17 and coming to the end of his first year at college. Outwardly he is doing well with his courses, he has a Saturday job which he enjoys and everything seems fine but I am increasingly concerned about his lack of social life. He has people that he chats to at college but he doesn't socialise with anyone outside of his day to day timetable they all still keep to there old school friends. He has one old friend from school who he sees every few weeks but who is quite flaky and will drop him in a flash if theres a better offer. He won't speak to girls as he's too shy. He's played one particular sport long term but wants to give that up as he is not enjoying it anymore. He says it's pointless going to a gym as everyone is plugged into their headphones and its not social. How can I help him? How can he help himself? He doesn't want to go to Uni so he won't be pushed out of his comfort zone in that way. All I see is him at home/working for the next 8 weeks over the summer holidays with his family and no-one else. He's not bothered by it although he's bothered that I'm bothered. I feel like I've failed him as he's ended up alone with no-one to share anything with apart from his family. I want someone to be a good friend to him, love him like his family does, who wants to spend time with him, he's not a horrible person and doesn't deserve this
