The most important question is whether she is contented with her life as it is.

Has she always been quiet? Was she like this before she went to Uni or was she more sociable when she was at school? I think it’s more of a problem maybe if it’s a big change but if she’s always been a bit of a loner that’s just the way she is. You could ask if she wants to contact old school friends on social media to go out or maybe ask a uni friend to come and stay but if she’s tired she may just want to chill out for a bit in peace

I was constantly in trouble from my parents for staying in my room reading and listening to radio whilst my sister was out each night at discos and parties.

But I was and still am, a solitary person and that suited me fine.

Don't worry. At 21 she's capable of finding her own social interests - and maybe after hard work at uni she just needs to rest and have no pressures.

What’s her social life at uni like, Newquay? I would think that’s more relevant. Without knowing what sort of place your GD lives in, it’s hard to comment. Perhaps there’s not much going on, or perhaps her friends from school days aren’t around to go out with.

By the way you might want to ask GN to move your thread to the Chat Forum, or Ask a Gran or something.

I nearly skimmed over it because it’s in the dreaded Games forum, which I never read.

Well, she has done well in Uni, going into 3rd year. She goes ro church with her parents. So what's wrong? Perfect child in my eyes. She can have all the fun she wants after her education.

DGD, aged 21, is now back home having completed her second year at Uni. She's worked very hard and done really well. She now does some work in her parents' business.What concerns me that she doesn't seem to go out at all and spends all her time in her room.
She goes with her family to church on Sundays but little else. I am concerned cos her parents don't go out much either.
What can I suggest she does to get her out?
