My bestfriend is incredibly shy. At school everyone thinks she looks really depressed when she actually isn't and people mention that she seems to be glaring at them, whichc she also doesn't do. I have a friend group that she doesn't really fit in with and so she will hang out with me and my friends, but never talk unless I ask her a question. Even then she just usually says yes or no. She doesn't make much of an effort because she is tired and she feels that everyone hates her.

Im not saying you and her dont be friends i am saying that she needs to find her own group!!!!!!!!! [ advicegrl55's advice column | Ask advicegrl55 A Question ]

The best thing you can do is invite her to as many things you can like seeing a movie or something like that with or without the group of friends. She might be overwhelmed if you invite the whole group because she may feel like the girls have known each other for years and that she can't fit in or something.
Spend one on one time with ehr and then add another friend to those times..then another, etc.
Bring her over to a sleepover and play a game that involves talking like truth or dare or (without the alcohol) go around saying thing that the people there doesn't know about you. (I forgot the name) Or pictionary and such. [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
