You need to talk to your daughter. Tell her the rules of the house if she wants her bf to come over is for him to at least say hi to you and other members of the house before he hides away in her room. She needs to tell him that and you need to be firm. Your house, your rules.

She says he has anxiety
But seems to be alot different around other people
She's only 16 but enough is enough.

Try not to go too hard on her. You may drive her away or make them more secretive. If you make it more comfortable for both of them, then they'll hopefully be more inclined to be at your house, under your watch, than going elsewhere.
Have you tried discussing this with her, rather than "tell" her what you expect?

Invite him over for dinner to break the ice. Or when he's over, just make some snacks and tell them both to come out to eat, with just you there, so it's less intimidating.
I remember as a teenager, I'd go to my boyfriend's house, and felt so awkward and intimidated, I just wanted to hide away. Once I got to know them, it was a lot better.
Remember, he's young, too, so I definitely advise you make the first move to try and break the ice.
