Would u think the way she acts is weird?

Question

You work with a girl who seems to have her guard up but is really sweet once u get to know her. She's opened up to you a lot this year - granted, rather slowly. But she wrote you a note, thanked you for always being there for her and said she's glad she has gotten to know you. You thanked her for the beautiful card but she just lowered her head and smiled. She still acted somewhat reserved around you and your group of friends.

When you saw her with a few other people, she seemed more at ease, talkative and open.

Would u think the way she acts is weird? I mean, she wrote that note and you expressed your appreciation for it. Any explanations or insight?

Answer 1

Maybe she felt sorta embarrassed giving you the card and all. Like not in a bad way, but idk how to explain it, but I know some people don't take praise well.  So maybe when you thanked her, you kind of embarrassed her a little.

She just seems like a shy, sweet, girl, not weird.  I'm the same way around certain people, until I get to know them a little better.  I wouldn't consider myself a shy person, far from it, but I'm a little slow to get to know people.  I wanna make sure this person really wants to be friends with me, and not use me for something.

But even though you might have embarrassed her slightly by thanking her, I think she still appreciated it. It's always nice to hear that someone appreciated your efforts, in this case a nice card.  But maybe you said it in front of other people, or she just wasn't sure what to say.  But don't feel that she didn't appreciate it.  If she didn't appreciate you, she would not have given you that card....  

Answer 2

I think she might be giving you a hint maybe she'd want you as a friend, if your looking for more? Or perphas she's shy, but then again are you interested in getting to know her tell her?

Answer 3

she probably doesn't receive nice attention that often and it came to a surprise to her,which is why she wanted to make sure you were notified by a card that she highly appreciated it. i did the same thing when i was working at Wendy's. there was only one co-worker who never jumped down my throat when i asked for help or had a question. she was always there and i made sure to let her know that i appreciated it. maybe somebody or alot of people have mistreated her and she got to the point where its hard to trust people. if you don't know her side of the story then i don't think she should be called weird.

Answer 4

she is reserved ...not weird

Answer 5

She seems shy (wow, that's a tongue twister :P), not weird. Maybe the people that she's more at ease with, she's known for longer.

Give her some time, and she should turn out to be a lovely friend.

Answer 6

she is probably shy and hasnt had a lot of experience with people, and she is more comfortable with people she knows better, so if you want to be friends, try to get to know her!

Answer 7

she's not very confident and past experiences might have taught her a "lesson", which is why she keeps her distance a little.

as for her talking to other people, they might be people she feels a little more at ease with because maybe they've known her for longer or they talk about things she doesn't feel pressurized about.

it's about inner feelings...
