This girl is a 1st class student, many men are attracted to her, yet she has very very few friends due to anxiety troubles. What would you think of why she has this phobia?

A final year college student and how would you think a lecturer would interpret her

Well- it’s hard to be pretty and smart.
I don’t think I’m the cat’s meow- but I’m an attractive girl and I got great grades in high school- I was in honors classes.. but the problem is, you’re stuck
Alot of the “popular people” are viewed as not being very smart, so anyone who is not so intelligent, yet attractive has probably always treated her as such- not intelligent, just a pretty face.
The “smart people” tend to be viewed as unattractive, so the smart kids can resent attractive people, thinking that they’re really not as smart as they claim to be.
It’s hard- judgement can be a huge pain in the butt, and can cause a LOT of problems.
I have extremely bad anxiety problems, so it would either be from 1) a bad childhood situation, such as being scolded to the point of thinking that you come off as annoying/too much of a hassle to deal with, 2) having low self-esteem from letting something you heard that someone said about you get to your head, or 3) comparing yourself with other girls and finding yourself inferior to them.
Hey there,Stars. What you mean to tell me is that there is actually a girl who is both pretty and intelligent? I’m just kidding,I understand. Perhaps she is afraid to get close to people. She isn’t shy,Is she? I know there are alot of people who could make anybody nervous. Me for one. But the secret is that once you get to know me,I can be a really sweet guy. I would think that a lecturer or psychiatrist would interpret your friend just to be a normal everyday girl. This girl might be afraid of what others may think. If they knew that she had a brain to go with that body,What would they think of her? You know? What she needs is some friends to help push her to meet some new people. Help her to break out of her shell. Now what I mean is that she doesn’t have to act like a blond to get accepted. Just tell her to be herself. There are many men who would find this girl to be a great catch. To have both the body of a Venus with a brain as well. Take this girl out and introduce her to some people. She needs to snap out of this. She sounds like a wonderful person. We need to show her off to the world. Thank you so much for this question. I hope my answer pleases you. Stars,My name is David and it’s been an honor to write you today. Have yourself a good day. And please tell this girl that this young man says “Hi”. Take it easy and God bless. Bye for now.
ill take a guess
somewhere along in life she was very self conscious, tried to appeal to everyone, and wasn’t herself. Therefore she never developed a strong personality or the confidence in herself to live a normal social life. She never had the social experience and practice to make socializing second-nature. She has “fake” confidence. Confidence in her appearance, but not in her personality. It’s like she tries to live up to what people believes she is by their first-impression of her, but because she doesn’t have the social skills to back it up, her confidence gets shot down.
