[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. They’re at a large state school, and to those suggesting transferring, that isn’t the issue. I’m sure they would just be going through the motions no matter where they went. And trust me, we have had several talks with them both before starting freshman year and even this summer about going outside their comfort zone, etc. I don’t want to push so much that they resent us one day (opposite from the PP with their brother - parents can’t win) so I try to hold back sometimes as well. 
I think I’m also having a hard time with it since I was exactly the same in high school and had a major shift once I left for college - to the point that I remember thinking back then that I grew up very sheltered. Looking back as an adult, I realize that wasn’t true, it was more that my eyes ‘opened’ once I went to college. Definitely put myself out there, actively started making friends etc. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a homebody and all but I did bloom at that age. I’m not seeing any of this with DC. [/quote]

He needs to find some people. His people. Sadly, they won't come to him. So, he either finds where they are, or he's okay with the status quo.
Have you helped him research student groups and activities? Maybe that would help him see what's possible?[/quote]
