need advice on issue with adult daughter
Hi Yellowrose, I've never done this so let me know if you get this. I am not very good at the computor. I have a daughter now 26 with the same condition. She also is bright, cute, artistic, frugal and friendless. She spends a lot of time in bookstores, around people but not engaging with them. She has a great aunt and cousin who are the same way. It will be a long, lonely life for her and she knows it. She does not want to become her aunt. She has read a book, I think it's called "How to Make Friends and Influence People". She takes deliberate steps out of her comfort zone at our proding and sometimes with our pressence for confidance. Her social shyness has been part of her personality since childhood. She has always had a cautious temperment. I agree it would be good to cut down on the computor time and try to involve her with some volunteer work. Try to let her see how much people need her. People who volunteer are usually very gentle and kind and grateful for help. A word for you yellowroe, you can be supportive, pray, even line up opportunities but your daughter is responsible for her own happiness. God Bless Amomtoo
