My DD is 17 about to finish A Levels and is relay struggling with friends. This has been an ongoing problem but isn’t getting any better.
she says she tries to talk to people and they just walk away from her/ ignore her etc.
a few people have told her she’s socially awkward and this has further dented her confidence so she’s awkward and it’s a vicious circle.
I feel so sad for her, I listen and try to help her, give her advise and support her but nothing seems to work.
when she was younger I was able to be with her more and help her join in but now she is older I can’t.
i am so sad, she’s sometimes a bit blunt but overall she’s funny, kind and bright. It just seems no one wants to be her friend.
I wosh she didn’t care and was happier in her own company but she isn’t…..
