Why can’t we just stay positive about this situation

Treating him as a problem to fix is not positive. Being positive would be inviting him places only when you want to, to be nice, but trusting that he’ll find his place at college.

I’m still meeting new people as a senior. His life isn’t over because he spent the first weekend in his room, and it’s really not doing him any favors to take responsibility for how social he is or isn’t.

Re: post 16,
My first roommate also reported to Housing that I was “having trouble sleeping” – I guess because I sleep-talk and occasionally -walk when under stress? They called me in for a chat. It was horribly embarrassing and did not make me feel better about anything.
