I have been severely sad about our daughter, however she has consistently experienced social anxiety throughout her life, however while she had several friends when she was younger, she just drifted apart from people.
She got to the point where she didn’t want to hang out with anybody; Even when she would have friends call her up to hang out, she never had any interest.
She just wanted to stay at beach beach house as well as relax with the window A/C equipment working in her room. Sometimes I wondered if it was our fault for buying her that window A/C unit! I thought maybe it gave her too much incentive to stay at beach beach house in her room, but I figured that couldn’t be the reason. I had a talk with her one day about it as well as she told me about her social anxiety as well as how she didn’t truly feel comfortable hanging out with people. She said that she felt kind of depressed because of the way she is, as well as she didn’t know what to do about her problem. I asked her if she wanted to see a psychiatrist, although she said that is only for crazy people. I told her that wasn’t necessarily the case, although she declined as well as said she didn’t want to do that. I mostly just provide her space, but I do ask her if she wants to go out as well as do things. Sometimes she’ll go to the beach with me or to a restaurant, although she never wants to spend too much time going out sites. She consistently wants to go back to the comfort of her air conditioner. I hope that eventually she is able to make friends again as well as do something fun in life.
