[quote=Anonymous]I was a shy kid and now I'm a selective introvert (my own terminology). Please respect that she does not want to interact. Perhaps you can find out why, but don't push her into it because there is no net gain in that. She may be very good at watching and observing. She may be holding it in until she feels like she will be ready. It's hard to tell, but she may just be expressing her natural, NORMAL personality. Perhaps it will take a while to figure out, but I caution the suggestion to pathologize shyness and introversion. [/quote]
