[quote=Anonymous]He's clearly an introvert. That's fine. We're often misunderstood by the adults growing up. I remember my mother harping on me about not going to this school dance or that all through school. I would get asked to go, but I just didn't want to go. I couldn't wait to get home. I wanted to stay at home and do my art, relax, dream. It wasn't that I didn't like my classmates, it was that I didn't mind being on my own. To this day, I always have a million things to be doing and I get them done. I'm still comfortable riding solo at almost 60 than being a part of your social swirl. I don't need the group to build me up or sustain me. Solitude sustains me. I don't feel any FOMO. I can be alone, but I'm never, ever lonely. Maybe this is your son, too. If your son isn't worried about it, then you don't worry about it, either. Leave him be. Don't make him feel like a weirdo by acting all verklempt about it. A calm, quiet exterior often hides a very active internal life. And yes, I'm a creative.[/quote]
