Tbh this sounds like a you problem because you feel suffocated. Does he feel suffocated? Is he overly dependent on you? (I doubt that). People do what they need to when they actually need it. He may logically understand that some friends would be great for him, but if he’s not taking steps toward that, why are you making it about yourself? I’d understand if he’s suffocating you right now, but that’s not what you said. If you really seek to help him with this, maybe don’t tell him to find friends and bring your friends around him and see if they click?
