I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO WILL BE 28 IN AUGUST. SHE ALWAYS HAS BEEN A LONER TYPE OF PERSON. WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER SHE NEVER REALLY SAW THE NEED TO SOCIALIZE WITH OTHERS OR ALLOW THEM TO COME VISIT OR HER VISIT THEM. THERE WERE SOME THAT WOULD REACH OUT TO HER BUT SHE WOULD NOT ACT ON IT AND DID NOT WANT TO. ALTHOUGH WHEN I RUN INTO HER HIGH SCHOOL ACQUAINTANCES THEY WOULD ALWAYS ASK ABOUT HER, SO I KNOW SHE INTERACTED WITH PEOPLE IN SCHOOL. SHE HAS 4 OTHER SIBLINGS SHE IS THE YOUNGEST HER OLDER SISTER IS 3 YEARS OLDER THAN HER. WHEN THEY WOULD COME HOME TO VISIT EVEN AFTER A FEW YEARS OF NOT SEEING THEM SHE WOULD STAY IN HER ROOM AND IGNORE THEM,THEY WOULD KNOCK ON THE DOOR AND SHE STILL WILL NOT ANSWER THEM SHE WON T ANSWER ME IF I KNOCK ON HER DOOR ONLY IF AT THE TIME SHE FEELS LIKE IT AND THAT IS PRETTY RARE. HER SISTER CAME HOME FROM OUT OF STATE AND STAYED WITH US FOR 3 MONTHS SHE NEVER CAME OUT TO SOCIALIZE OR VISIT WITH HER UNTIL THE WEEK SHE WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE AT THAT TIME SHE SEEMED TO LIKE HANGING OUT WITH HER, THEN HER SISTER LEAVES AND SHE GOES BACK TO HER ROOM AND ISOLATION. HER BROTHER HAD NOT SEEN HER FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS HE CAME HOME WANTED TO VISIT WITH HER BUT SHE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF HER ROOM AT ALL, THE STRANGE THING IS THIS SAME BROTHER S WIFE CAME TO VISIT 2 MONTHS LATER AND SHE ACCEPTS AN INVITATION TO DINNER WITH HER. SHE ENJOYS DRESSING HERSELF UP WHEN SHE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WHEN SHE WAS IN COLLEGE. I NEVER HAD TO MAKE HER GO TO SCHOOL, SHE WOULD GET UP AND GO EVERYDAY. SHE HAS A 4 YEAR DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY. IRONIC RIGHT! BUT SHE WON T WORK SHE WOULD LOOK FOR JOBS WHERE SHE WOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE. GROCERY STORE OR CLEANING JOBS. WHEN SHE DID GET A JOB THE LONGEST SHE WOULD WORK WAS MAYBE A YEAR, SHE WOULD LEAVE OR GET FIRED. WHEN SHE COME IN FROM WORK SHE WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO HER ROOM AND ISOLATE HERSELF. SHE DID HAVE A JOB WHILE IN COLLEGE FOR 4 YEARS, WORKING IN THE COLLEGE COMPUTER LAB THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT. AT ONE POINT SHE HAD A BOYFRIEND WHEN I PICKED HER UP FOR THANKSGIVING BREAK HE GETS IN THE CAR AND COMES ALONG HOME WITH HER AND STAYS IN HER ROOM WITH HIM FOR THAT WEEKEND THEN THE NEXT THING I KNOW SHE SAID HE GOT ON HER LAST NERVE. IT WAS LIKE SHE HAD A BOYFRIEND BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT SHE WAS SUPPOSE TO DO. SHE SAYS SHE DO NOT WANT TO GET MARRIED OR HAVE KIDS. SHE HAS A CAR THAT SITS IN THE DRIVE WAY MOST OF THE TIME. HOW MANY YOUNG ADULTS WOULD DO THAT! SHE IS LITERALLY WASTING HER LIFE IN HER ROOM. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHEN I SAY YOU NEED TO GO TO THE DR OR I WOULD SAY I MADE YOU AN APPOINTMENT SHE WOULD WALK AWAY AND IGNORE ME. BY THE WAY ON HOLIDAYS SHE WOULD COME OUT A LITTLE WHILE AND GO BACK TO HER ROOM, OR ON MY BIRTHDAY OR MOTHER S DAY SHE WOULD PUT A CARD AND GIFT ON THE KITCHEN TABLE FOR ME. WHEN SHE GETS HUNGRY SHE WAITS AFTER EVERYONE HAS GONE TO BED TO EAT. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS CONFUSING BUT THIS IS JUST HOW SHE ACTS AND I AM CONFUSED. HELP!
