[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks all for your feedback. I am not sure which it is ...if she is scared of not conforming or if she genuinely doesn't know what to do. I lean towards a fear of not fitting in only because she is somewhat preoccupied with being popular and wanting people to like her. On the other side of it, some times I feel like she is being inauthentic....reacting in a manner that she thinks she is supposed to rather than expressing how she feels. I am pretty sure she laughs at TV shows on her own but I'll pay closer attention. Also, I really try to create a safe space for them (DD and twin sis) to express themselves and reassure them that whatever they feel is ok and help them figure out ways to express themselves. I really appreciate the comments here and insights. I know no one can diagnose her over the Internet (nor am I sure there's anything to diagnose) but I figure this would be a good place to help me identify a red flag if it were waving.[/quote]
