Is she needy, playing the vctim card, fishing for compliments? Should I stay away from her? Is she a toxic fri

Question

I know this young lady. She always looks sad and never smiles. She only gives one word or short anwers. She sometimes puts herself down esp. when given compliments. She won't even smile and say thank you. She doesn't even dress up (not even for church). She just wears jeans, t-shirts, and tennis shoes. Half the time she doesn't even comb her hair. What would you do/think?

Answer 1

I would think she's depressed about something - perhaps her home life is rough.

Answer 2

maybe she doesn't want to be your friend.  maybe she's depressed.  maybe it's just how she is.  if you don't like it, don't deal with her.

Answer 3

you have to take her on face value. And also accept her for what she is now, not what you think she may be if she cheered up. She's just getting on with her life the best way she knows how, and whether or not you like her methods is irelevant.
