[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the helpful responses. I’m thinking she might have social anxiety. I never considered this before, but I think she has a textbook case. [/quote] I agree. I vote for activities. As an anxious bookworm socially isolated kid I could never understand now other kids knew what songs/clothes/tv shows/celebrities were cool, it was like they had secret knowledge (pre-internet of course, pre even cable tv). When we had something in school where we would present an interest I would always be completely off. But band, scouts, church group, choir/chorus, etc etc. Even if you're not a major conversationalist, when you're in the band bus listening to everyone you can feel like one. I was also interested in politics and social issues so class discussions got me going. I think my parents and friends of theirs engineered some contacts for me as a kid--people they knew through church or work, also famikly events with relatives. [/quote]
