[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: thanks for the suggestions and perspective. I feel blessed she has a best friend, and when they are together, it’s a wonderfully nurturing friendship. But her friend is often out of town and misses lots of school due to allergies. And they are involved in different activities after school. DD really needs to learn how to open up to other kids, but her social anxiety is crippling. I’ve tried to find a therapist for her all year, but the schedule doesn’t work, or there’s no availability, or DD refuses to go. We’re still looking, and would appreciate any recommendations. We’re in MoCo. Full disclosure, I was exactly the same way at her age and ended up in a bad romantic relationship because making friends was too hard. I spent my 20s and 30s in therapy trying to learn what I hope I can help her learn now. But clearly, she can’t learn it from me.[/quote]

Your path is not the path your daughter will have. She will have an entirely different story.

I was shy in high school, hardly had friends, and went to college & had a fantastic time. I thoroughly enjoyed my 20s, and later got married to a great man yada yada [/quote]
