She just needs to build her confidence thats all. I think that sombody needs to make her realise her good points, understand that she is a person just like everybody else and would have just as much as a valid inout to society as the next guy. If not more so :) everybody needs to understand that they are an individual and the less they make themselves known to other individuals, the more seperated from society they become. im simular, except i make myself known to whoever i want. if there is somebody i like form what i have observed i will go over to them and chat. friends are very important but to be honest is it really that important how many they have. any more and it will be dificult for her to spread herself between them all. she is having enough trouble as it is ;/ chat with her, become the person that is there for and picks her up when she is down. maybe she needs a relationship, somebody to tell her she is special :)
hope it helped :)

Could be. Let her know of your concern and tell her she should go see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis.
I think that she is very shy. Sounds like she has low self esteem.
yes
sounds to me that shes not a ppls person.. my b/f is like that too .. it could be also depression ..
i wouldnt call that depression.
depression is the inability to cope with the demands of the environment
i think maybee its issues with confidence and insecurity.
Only a doctor can decide if it is depression.
If she were doing one of the following things to go along with it then I'd say that it probably most likely is depression:
Does not want to get out of bed.
Does not want to shower.
Will not clean up after herself.
Has a very messy room.
Has an obsessive compulsive disorder such as washing, ect..
Refuses medications.
Refuses to go to the doctor.
Refuses treatment for bad teeth.
Pisses herself.
Eats bugs or other small animals.
Will not take care of the animals she owns.
Threatens to kill herself all the time (attention seeking).
you just described me.........well this makes it easy
since i am sad but i do not THINK i am depressed
i would say that she is not either
but, i WAS depressed only a month ago and then i made a really good friend who actually convinced me to not commit suicide so.........she might just be
make her happy
force her to places
and everybody hates being judged
i am so often judged in my school it is unatural
everybody except my true friends think i am gay
just cuz i turned down a hot girl in my school to hang with friends
well she was a bi**h
i still pick out everything bad about me
i often end of making myself feel like total crap that don't deserve to live but i still do it
there is a difference between low self esteem and depression
just ask my contact i always put myself down all the time
well i AM a loser and hopeless but, everybody says i am not
woops i just did it
stupid me
well it IS kinda awkward to laugh by yourself
well like me she probably ain't a people person
i can't stand crowds i mean right above me right now is a huge party and i here in the basement in the spare bedroom on the computer answering questions.
i work best by my own and kids can be extremely mean if you didn't know
in my school you make one little mistake everybody calls you a retard and laughs in your face
i often just sit in my chair wondering about things
from whats for dinner to what is my grades
does she like me?
why do people think i am gay?
i often just sit there space out ignore everything and everybody and just think
maybe she does the same thing
well there you go
oh dear =[ 3-9 sounds just like me
but i wouldnt say i was depressed
i think she might be over stressed lik me
try talking to her about it, i sure wish my friends would :S
Maybe, but there are a whole lot of other questions to answer. First, how old is she? Has she always been like this? It seems that she has extremely low self-esteem. When I was a teenager I was a lot like that, but with the help of friends and adults who understood me, I was able to overcome that.
Tell her that nobody is perfect, if she thinks something is "wrong" with her, let her know that it might be "wrong" for some people and just perfect for other people, and that she will never be able to please everybody. Tell her to look at her positive sides, I'm sure she has a lot of those, and use them (maybe she's smart, or good in some kind of sports, etc.). Tell an adult what you think.
There might also be some anxiety in there, but as always, if depression or anxiety, or any other health problem is suspected, the best thing is to consult a professional.
Those symptoms are consistent with depression, but this doesn't mean there's anything 'wrong' with your acquaintance, just as three's nothing 'wrong' with someone who is very outgoing and energetic?
I'm interested to know why you're asking.
