Has the boy been diagnosed with a social phobia? That diagnosis is typically not given unless the symptoms occur over an extended period of time, usually 6 months or more.
If this was not part of his behavior before, and the onset was rather sudden, look for a recent traumatic social interaction as a potential cause. If none can be found, have him see a physician to rule out potential physical causes.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
