[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well is she anxious or just shy.  If she has true anxiety, then yes go therapy and maybe a light does of med.  Or you can go the natural route and try asha or calming gummies too[/quote]

She is neither when I see her and hear her on the phone. But for instance she signed herself up for a nature camp with a bunch of people she never met. She loved the trip, thought it was going well, and she hears people say she is so shy and barely talks. Meanwhile other people who say less are not labeled that way. So it gets to a point it makes her feel self conscious. Same this past weekend: she goes on a sort of double date just to help out her one good friend. She did not like the guy much. Her friend tells her the boy told her she was “difficult to talk to” All the negative feedback is really getting to her.[/quote]

Ok well it sounds to me like your daughter has a really good sense of self but is being let down by others perceptions of herself.

This is extremely normal and something she has to evolve into “love yourself and you will attract your people” mentality. Not everyone is everyone else’s cup of tea. She obviously didn’t like this guy either so who cares if they think she was difficult to talk to. If she starts conforming and being superficial, then the anxiety will start. Because she isn’t her true self and it will build up inside of her.

I think some self help books and maybe a therapist to try and navigate herself is all she needs. [/quote]
