[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD sounds very similar to yours. Mine has been diagnosed with social anxiety and she has been seeing a therapist for about a year. It helps somewhat but it is still difficult for her to carry a conversation, as you say. Just last weekend, she was at a sporting event and one of her teammates was taking a video of her (at her request). When that girl came by later to return DD's phone, DD just took the phone without even looking up or a simple thank you. I asked her later why and she said she just could not, she froze and was afraid of being "rejected." This is just an example of her struggles. We have decided to pursue medication for her (in addition to the therapy) so these seemingly simple interactions can be handled more stress-free. Anyway, good luck ! I am in the same boat as you.[/quote]
My 12 year old daughter is having similar issues. this is an older post but I found it searching g for help. I am hoping this person who moved on to medication sees this and can report back on r results. 
my kid is perfectly fine being isolated during this pandemic. she has no interest in texting or talking to any of her classmates. She is in a ton of groups outside of school and I hate to say, it isnt helping. she makes comments that make me feel it is social anxiety but she is also a little immature for her age and losing her friends as they move on to other interests.
