My Kid Is A Loner

My son is barely 16, and seems to not need any friends. From time to time (possibly once a month), he will hang out with a friend, but other than that he's a homebody.

My husband and I can't relate. At his age, we both were social people and always gone with friends or working. My son has spent the entire summer looking for a job and hasn't found one yet. He will be taking his drivers test next week, but isn't looking forward to driving. I couldn't wait to get my license when I was a teen.

Is this generational?? He is an introvert, but even so I would have imagined there would be a little more socializing, or at least a desire for it.

Part of me wonders if social media/internet makes it so the more introverted kids are satisfied and don't need to go out and find actual people to interact with.

How can I try to get my kid to be more active without making him feel like I am judging him? I'm trying to see him as him, and not project what I wanted when I was his age.
