I am concerned about my son. He will be 21 soon, and he has very few friends. He works and is not a problem at home or any where else. The problem is that when he is home he stays in his room and watches TV or plays video games. He has no social interaction with people his own age unless he is at work. The few friends he does have, have quit asking them to go any where with them because he turns them down. I am forcing him to get his drivers licence, and to try to get enrolled in college. I don't know what to do to help him. He constantly tells me that there is nothing bothering him, and that he is not sad or depressed. He says he doesn't know why he doesn't want to go to school or get his licence. Other than that he has never given me a moment of trouble. He is not into drugs or drinking and is not rebellious in the least. He is a very non confrontational person. He has never really had a male role model in his life, at least not since he was 10 and his father and I divorced. His father lives 1000 miles away from him. He has not visited him very much through the years. I am just looking for some kind of answer. I want him to start living his life, and he cannot as long as he stays cooped up in his room. He is not financially able to live independently on his own yet. If any one has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Some people just like that. Maybe he is just set in his ways and has no interest in the things most people enjoy.
Pressuring him can have opposite effects so
Maybe just trying to get him to open up to you more about himself would be the best approach for now.

Being unconfrontational might be the proublem/answer we know that everyday life can be very confrontational.I think he's slow to address these huge issues he has ahead of him.maybe he feels like he needs to nest longer for you.maybe he hasn't found a good fit friends wise.you could do a little investigating try to find something's he wrote,just be pre-pared for what you might find and don't go overboard checking into things.Basically he sounds like a great son to have,does he help out around the house he's not lazy?if so don't worry mom it should be fine
<now if he's 35 doing the same thing were in trouble>
