My father has become very anti-social and doesn't emotionally connect with family any more. hes always been stoic, but now its worse. what could it be?

Your father must: Be 75 or 80 years old. First, take him to a doctor to exclude any medical illnesses. If he checks out, it sounds like early dementia. There are meds for this. Get him help before he hurts himself or others.
