Hi, I have known a girl for a long time. (we met very briefly and then talked over the internet for about a year and a half)
We got very familiar, and would have really great, long conversations, but she came on very rarely. She'd only talk once a month or so... never more. She told me that she felt physically exhausted after we talked online, and she tells me that when she communicates she feels like she is being "sucked away by social obligations".
At one point she told me she wanted to meet me again and began talking about how she would drive up in a 2 day road trip to see me, which is where things started getting complicated.
I figured she liked me, but after saying this she backed off considerably, and still would only talk to me once a month, if not longer.
But every time I got frustrated and told her we should just be friends, she reaches out and tells me that she cares about me.
She is struggling to find a job so that she can go to College, because that's what she thinks her parents want her to do, but she's very stressed about it, and doens't want anything to change. She calls herself a "hermit" and tells me that she doesn't like to talk with people, and because of this she isn't ready for a relationship, but then says that I'm perfect for her.
Does this girl suffer from social anxiety? And if so... what should I do?
Thanks.
