Why would someone avoid talking to me 1-on-1 but engage with me in group conversations?
There’s this girl I know who seems very outgoing and friendly with pretty much everyone. When I first met her, I tried to talk to her one-on-one, but she seemed really awkward and reserved with me specifically. She would answer my questions, but never ask anything back, so the conversations felt more like an interview.
After a while I stopped initiating because it felt one-sided. She also never comes up to say hello or start a conversation with me.
Recently we got paired in a group together with a few other people. I noticed that she still doesn’t really talk to me alone, but in the group setting she will engage in the conversation. If I say something she’ll respond, add little comments, or react to what I’m saying. If I’m talking with someone else in the group, she sometimes feels comfortable enough to jump in too.
The thing that still stands out though is that she rarely makes eye contact with me, even when her response is directed toward me.
I genuinely can’t tell if I’m making her uncomfortable or she just doesn't like me.
