Hello, he is a 8 yr old child so first of all, bring curiosity towards his behaviour than correction. This will help you talk to your child and also build a stronger connection than just changing his behaviour. As a parent you can sit down and talk to him he might open up to tell you but don't force it.
Next Steps
Start a communication with your child and if he feels very upset then consider seeing a child psychologist
Health Tips
It would help if you could spend more time with your child everyday to play, communicate and bond.
The child needs to be examined properly, a proper case history is required, from how long is he facing the issue, also what are the prominent issues that you are trying to address where the child doesn't respond actively?
Every psychological condition can be taken care of , remember to reach out to a psychologist ASAP for resolving issues at the earliest.

I recommend seeking help from a psychologist.

As of now , please make the child do deep breathing exercises, focus on a healthy diet and stay hydrated.

Hi friend the child seems to be in some sort of anxious moment, while interacting with some elders & strangers , so he may be hesitating/ avoiding to react . The environment around could be one of the primary factors responsible for such a reaction ! Needs to be handled by Psychologist .
Next Steps
Pl consult a Senior Licenced Psychologist for further counselling the child & his parents separately to therapeutically help the family .
Health Tips
Kindly contact the senior psychologist from the practo platform, Emotional deprivation needs to be addressed.
Its trigger of Introversion personality. The information provided is too less to analyse. In which circumstances / with whom / how is school climate / frinds / sleeping habit / screen time and what he watches / Playful (What games)/ there r many issues we need to understand. Just keep engaged and ask routine, follow for homework friends day in school etc.
Better to play games with him and motivate to express openly.
Best wishes

Children can be naturally shy in nature, however, certain experiences and instances can cause a sudden change in behaviour.
Next Steps
Speaking to the child and making them comfortable can make them open up about any issue that exists. A child psychologist can be sought to get help.
Health Tips
It is important to be kind and gentle with the child, and not force him. Children learn a lot through social learning, so modelling the behaviour you want them to learn could be a good way.
Hello,

Exposure therapy may works for you.
Which means you have to talk to elders and new people frequently so that your anxiety of meeting new or elderly people will get settle down gradually.
As you are 8yrs , socialising with all family functions or extra curricular activities may also work.
