What would you think of her?

Question

You greet a normally quiet coworker and asked her how she was doing. She said, a very soft-spoken, "Good, how are you". You respond and then, trying to be friendly, say that it's been a while since you've both talked. In response, she gets a "deer in the headlights" look, kind of appears to be searching for what to say, then kind of shrugs innocently and doesn't say anything. What would you think of her?

Answer 1

I think she's very shy.

Answer 2

I would say shy too but it's also kind of "odd" because MOST normal people want to have a relationship (of sorts...you know what I mean) with co-workers. I've met most of my best friends ever AT my work so.....
You didn't say how old she is either - and maybe this is her first job?

Answer 3

That she is not worth talking to. Just say hi and bye and go on with your day.

Answer 4

she is shy or is going thru some personal issues at home. try to keep talking to her and let her know you are there if she needs to talk.

Answer 5

maybe she's been saying bad things about u to other people. that's the only thing that comes to my mind

Answer 6

Just shy?

Answer 7

she's painfully shy and i'd leave it at that. no need to psycho-analyze our co workers....

Answer 8

maybe she's scared. take it slow and let her open up when she's ready

Answer 9

She is depressed or stoned

Answer 10

she ate your lunch, in the break room...
