Now back off. ;) Nothing wrong with being on your guard especially when you've experienced meanness. I was pretty introverted as a child but then cocooned in high school and became a social butterfly. Didn't experience meanness, but then my sister did, so I would argue based on what I've seen that girls have a harder time with subtle bullying than boys. Nice to meet you. Now back off.

;)

The internet is a way that I can be social and still hide, but now I want to meet everyone face to face. My husband is a social butterfly and loves attention. I do not want to be the center of it. I like the background, but I think I turned out okay. She will make friends in her own way. My 13 year old is so not sociable. He doesn't go outside, he doesn't have friends in the neighborhood (except for two girls that comes by every now and then to say hi, aww girls). I use to be worried because all he wants to do is sit inside on his computer and play with his cyber friends, but like me he feels more comfortable behind the scenes. I no longer force him to be social how I feel he should be social, I just try to encourage the things that he does like to do and that can actual make him become more social when someone sees how talented he is. She will be okay and continue to nurture her like you guys are doing. I am starting to learn to be social.

Fortunately, we all know that shyness can be overcome. Perhaps, since you have the same temperament, you can discuss with her the way you came out of your shell. (Although, I can never imagine YOU being shy!) Good luck! Awww, I feel for Nee. Fortunately, we all know that shyness can be overcome.
