Has she ever said what she actually has going on?

…(…I think that it feels like…)…a struggle with self discipline, she may have been more ‘enabled’ by reassurances that it’s all acceptable, rather than being given focus and structure because we all know that’s what is best responded to, in terms of someone learning about their own selves but also in having awareness of others around you and how your own behaviour etc, impacts them…plus, she’s said that she’s very much within her own group and not had experiences of social situations/more diverse group situations…I would say that she herself struggles with that and the group dynamics and really is at a loss at how to express it/her own frustrations…but you’re completely right, it’s all about how behaviour impacts others/the group, no matter what contributes are…
