I have this friend of mine who in some way i think he is not brave enough to face whatever comes his way. He loves to hide himself when a situation comes up and shows up whenever the situation is over or solved. I find it weird for a guy to be like that.
I am planing to tell him but i am wondering if he will take it the right way. I think it is for his best if he takes it as a positive criticism.

would you mind elaborating some more? I think it's perfectly normal to runaway or hiding if he/she feels threatened. but of course it depends on the context, which is why It is really helpful if you give some more elaboration before I can state any opinion regarding that.

@Missmwngi I understand. it's ok. insecurities though it's more personal than any other matter. it is delicate. I think if you wanna do something about it, it will risk your friendship.

I would be careful how I'd approach this as maybe he will not take it well. You might want to get him to talk about it by asking how something made him feel. Asking an open question that gets him expressing why he withdraws would help better than telling him you think it's weird.
