Well, I don't know if you're going to get any different answers than you did the last several times you posted about this. It's almost feels like you're trying to get someone to say the answer you want.
How about trying these suggestions for a change:
1. Keeps to himself - then, he wants to be left alone, so leave him alone.
2. Keeps himself busier for no reason to the point where you can't get a hold of him - he's busy. Maybe he doesn't want to talk to you.
3. Barely says a decent hello or goodbye (when he's all about manners) - maybe he doesn't want to say hello.
4. He doesn't offer to help people (when he's usually so helpful and bends over backwards for people) - seems like you're complaining because he doesn't help YOU. If he doesn't want to help he doesn't have to. Maybe he's tired of people taking advantage of him.
5. He doesn't laugh at the same types of jokes he used to laugh at - maybe the jokes are old and stale and aren't funny to him anymore.
6. he doesn't joke as much anymore and if he does its on his terms only when just 10 minutes before when someone tried to joke with him and he said nothing - Obviously, he didn't think the other person's jokes are funny.
7. he's so serious all the damn time - You act like you think he should always be "on", always be fun and games. Even aquas have a serious side.
Just leave the dude alone and quit trying so hard.

You can ask a million questions regarding his behaviour but you simply fail to consider the simplest of solution.

He was sweet and silly and shy but for the past several months he's just not how he used to be even more so. More and more as time goes on he's gotten opinionated, indifferent, serious and the things I used to do that made him always grin or giggle he just doesn't care about that stuff anymore. And its just not with me but he's like that with most people now. Sometimes he'll be social and friendly but he's just so damn hard to talk to now it seems. Like I have to walk on eggshells. I miss the sweet and caring guy.
For example, he had bought donuts for a group of us if we wanted. He doesn't like donuts but he bought special ones that had weird flavors. He likes people trying weird things like that occasionally. In the past I've dared him to eat weird foods that he brings that he has refused to eat before and he'd joke with me about not wanting to it it. But the other day when he brought these weird donuts and I dared him again. He just acted all snooty or serious and he's like "No. It's not my thing." And it made me feel weird and stupid for trying to joke with him.
I know nothing major has changed in his life so why is he so difficult to get to know?
How can I restore the sweet shy side of him again? Is it because he lost trust in me or with people in general?
I don't want to ask him.
