social anxiety in teen

Sat, 01-26-2013 - 7:52pm

After seeing a counselor for some anxiety with starthing h.s., the counselor  told me that she thinks my dd has some social anxiety, but feels as she gets older and gains more confidence, it will lessen. She doesn't feel she has to be seen, although the door is open if necessary. My dd is not an unhappy teen, but she is quite the loner. She is perfectly content spending almost every weekend and weeknight with hubby and I. Maybe 3 times a month,  she will get together with a friend, but it is almost always with our urging her to. Does anyone have issues like this? Any advice? I know she talks to friends in school, but not much out. She NEVER goes to games, out for pizza, the mall, etc.....
