[quote=Anonymous]My DC had a similar experience freshman year but things improved a lot sophomore year just by him meeting so many more people gradually through classes, roommate's friend, etc. Agree on getting a job or volunteer role so he has a purposeful activity where others will be, rather than consciously trying to make friends which can be exhausting for an introvert. As a mother it is sad and hard to take when one's beloved child is lonely and I found myself often in questioning/advice-giving mode. I do think talking it through with him a few times was helpful, but also realized that he had a lot more fun texting with my DH about sports. Mostly, what he needed from us was some moments of levity/connection/normalcy rather than constantly discussing how he was doing which was really what I wanted to do:)[/quote]
