It sounds like your daughter has some self-esteem issues, along with self-confidence problems. I recommend that she gets involved in activities that will boost her self image and she does things that she is good at. This way, she will have her confidence improved, and therefore she will become more forthcoming with life. Usually issues like this come from parenting modeling, so it might be an issue of positive punishment at home that needs to stop. Give her encouragements, praise her for her successes, be soft on her failures, and make sure to sit her down and talk about her, what she feels, what she needs, and what she wants without judging her or being critical. Just listen, and let her tell you about her heart. Be supportive and positive, things will work out. Good luck! Signed, Psychologist - Online Advices
