I was like this as a teen. I played sports and had a part time job, but really didn't have friends whom I felt close to during that time of my life. I was from a pretty small town and just not like most of the kids there, especially the party kids. I loved just being home because I got along well with my parents (older brother was out of the house). I was very much looking forward to college and getting into a new, larger community where I could find people I connected with. I left for college not knowing a soul and loved every minute of it!
to this day I'm still a pretty independent person, not a lot of friendships but a few very long, strong ones. To this day I still hate going to parties and hanging out socially, i'd rather be doing somethign specific with someone I really like.
I think you should ask him about it. If he seems otherwise happy, well adjusted, etc, i'd leave it alone. Does he belong to any clubs, organizations, etc? or have a job?
