What's wrong with her?

Question

Okay, my step moms sister has been living with my stepmom and my dad for about 6months know? She never specks. I just moved in 2 weeks ago and I haven't herd her say one word. Well i was surprised when one day i was visting and she was holding my baby brother and she said wanna hold him?She sounded perfectly normal. If you say Hi to her she wont say anthing back.I never hear her speck to my stepmom. She has no life she just watches the baby when everyone's at work. And watches tv all day and then sleeps the whole day. I hear she has no life back at her home where she lives with her mom. NO friends boyfriend job nothing. When she sleeps shes under the covers . I guess to cover her face. She takes 2hr showers. Sometimes when my brother is here visiting she will go in the closet and pretend she fixing something but we think she just looking at the wall to avoid us. So my question is she extremely just shy? Or rude? Or something else?Please let me know and tell me if you know someone like this Its kinda sad I feel bad for her

Answer 1

Maybe she won't speak much because she doesn't want to. Or maybe she's depressed or had a tramatic experience so she doesn't feel like associating with people. I don't think she means to be rude. Why not ask your stepmom more about her before jumping to conclusions? Also, I'm sorry because I really don't see how this is any of your buisness. She doesn't seem to bother anyone...

Answer 2

Sounds like she has social anxiety disorder. Get her to a doctor to get a better diagnosis. She may have some sort of mental disorder.

Answer 3

She's painfully shy by the sound of it. I used to be too shy to say hello too. But this is one of the more extreme cases of shyness I've ever heard of; who knows what happened to her that made her so shy, it does sound like she was brutalised and victimised a LOT.

Answer 4

She isnt rude, she's probably extremely shy and may not know how to strike up a conversation so she watches the baby and tv which means that she doesnt go out much or have friends, a boyfriend or a job.

Just strike up a conversation with her and be friendly to her as I dont think that she has anything against you at all.

Answer 5

She's probably just extremely shy.  It almost sounds like something happened that might have traumatized her when she was growing up that has made her so introverted.  Just continue to be kind and make the attempts.  

Answer 6

shes traumatized about something that happened to her in the past and she cant get over it

Answer 7

It sounds like she is depressed. Depression can lead to anti-social behavior like you have observed. Just keep being nice to her and eventually she may come around. She is someone who is closer to your mom than to you, so really her issues should be dealt with by another grown up.

Answer 8

Could be Shy but it could also be a form of depression. She could have a certain emotional disorder or a fear of contact. The world is full of oddities. Ppls mannerisms are among the thousands of strange things in this world.

Answer 9

it sounds like she has extreme confidence issues, no self-worth. was probably abused as a child

Answer 10

There could be something wrong with her...

Maybe she went through something traumatic recently..? Coping with depression can make someone seem strange like that.

have you asked your step-mom about her?  Im sure she would explain what's going on, especially if it makes you uncomfortable.

Answer 11

I thinks he needs to see a Dr. nobody on here can say  what's wrong with her because none of us are qualified to answer that question. She should really see a Dr.

Answer 12

Post traumatic stress disorder

It sounds like she went through something rough

Pray for her and let her continue to do what she feels to be most comfortable for her

Answer 13

sounds to me like she has some form of disability . there are so many different types . could be depression . but i doubt it . have you ever ask is she disabled . just because she may have said them few word normal . it may still be a disability of some sort . i wouldn't judge her till you know more about her . Could even be caused by some trauma in her life very hard to say .  

Answer 14

She is either really shy, or she may have a mental illness.

I hope she gets better or she gets over her shyness!

I hope I helped answer your question!

Take Care!
