[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given that she skipped two grades/went to college super young, I wouldn't be surprised her social development isn't great.  It sounds to me like a mix of arrogance (I don't want to spend time with people who are less intelligent than me) and new adult off-balanceness (over-assertive because she's trying to prove to herself she's an adult now).  I would just take a step back and let her figure herself out -- send cards if you want but don't force any invites on her or expect her to engage at family gatherings.  She may grow into a decent person and you can reconnect then, or she may because even ruder and more arrogant.  Hope for your sake it's the former.[/quote]

This. I doubt she feels better than everyone - quite the opposite. I bet she's insecure about her social skills and uses arroagance to mask it.[/quote]

OP: well, she does have friends and she seems to be on good terms with her father's family but whenever we are around we can't even get a hello. It's very sad. [/quote]
