[quote=Anonymous]OP, she might just be an introvert and the expectation to constantly chat and interact may be exhausting and unwelcome. It's ok to eat dinner in silence some days - I realize it might feel awkward for you, but it's probably more awkward to have to force conversation. It's ok for her not to schedule a bunch of activities and it's ok if she wants to sit around and do nothing. If you are worried about depression, even then the only thing you can do is gently bring it up with her... she is an adult and you really cannot push her to do anything about it or to be more active. Keep making occasional suggestions. "Hey, did you know the X museum has an X exhibition right now? Sounds so interesting!" "Oh look, the senior center has bingo on Tuesdays." If she doesn't bite, there is nothing more you can do. [/quote]
