Boyfriend won't get help?

EDIT: I have no idea how to work out the new Yahoo! Answers.

Accidentally posted this as an answer!

I've been with my boyfriend for a while (11 months including breakups) and I've noticed he finds it hard to talk to people he doesn't know which is fine (in a shorter explanation: he's shy in social situations) because everyone has their flaws right? For instance, he'd find it hard to ask an employee something or just talk to someone who he doesn't know/unfamiliar with. However, we recently went onto a summer school and it's the first time I've gotten very very close to him since I was with him all the time for four days straight. When we arrived back home, he wanted to take the train. I asked him to ask the TFL (transport for London) employee if the trains to his borough are still running. He said he'd check on his phone. I say to him what would you do if I wasn't here and your phone was dead? How on earth would you get home? I ask the man for him (turns out the trains were still running) but I wasn't happy to. If someone can't do simple things - how can they live?

I've realised throughout our relationship, although I've been encouraging him to come out of his shell, I've obviously not done enough. I'm asking him to make an appointment for his GP and explain his symptoms and his worries. At first he admitted he needed help. He quoted, 'I cannot live like this. I hate being shy.' Now he's saying he googled 'social awkardness' and the symptoms are way too extreme for his case claiming he doesn't need to see a doctor. I even used my friend as a situation and she noticed symptons too like panic attacks and went to see a GP. She was diagnosed with anxiety. Now she is better than ever. His situation is unlikely to be extreme but it's better safe than sorry. He's not coming out of his shell, he's not helping himself and most of all - he won't ask for help.

I don't know what to do. I'm threatening to leave him because I'm not his mother - I am his girlfriend. I cannot keep doing this stuff for him. I cannot stand by and watch him not be able to to simple things in order to live his life. It's affecting people around him. He's going to university next year - I'm not going to be there. He will be alone.

Can anyone give me tips please?

Make him get help

Sounds like the relationship has run its course.

For what??
