I have a similar problem with my 19 year old grandson, and it seems to me that like him, she may feel inadequately prepared to engage with the adult world and is trying to hide from it. The present generation of young adults have suffered from risk averse parenting, and have consequently been "babied" through childhood and adolescence. When you factor in the isolating effects of social media it isn't surprising that some young people fear the idea of independence rather than rushing to embrace it.
