Hi Corey1994, Firstly, I wanted to say that Ive been in your daughters shoes at the same age. Incredibly shy. But happy at home. Are you or were you more of an outgoing person? If you are, its really hard to not feel bad for us introverts. My son is also very shy..he is 17 too (maybe we can set them up?).he actually recharges more when hes at home and comfortable than when hes socialising. Its very hard to watch them being on the outer..I know how you feel. Iwas always on the outer and my son is now. Reading lots about introverts really helps. Also, just having her with you watching how you interact with others also helps her learn. She will most likely always rather be at home which is totally fine but I think she will also find a way to deal with her shyness like I did..she will just force herself to but may always be quiet and misunderstood. I think we all bloom in our own time. Just love her and enjoy her being at home she may change.   ... View more
