Everyone likes me...

Rose has been super shy for a while now.  Maybe since September.  If I'm around she basically won't speak to anyone.  Apparently she is very talkative at school, and I see her talking at gymnastics and dance class.  Something about me being there makes her embarrassed and mute.  She has mentioned not wanting to wear certain things because people tell her that they like them, which I guess makes her uncomfortable as then they expect her to talk back.  If someone asks her a question she averts her eyes and won't speak and waits for me to answer for her.  I'm not making a big deal out of it or asking her to go out of her comfort zone.  I'm sure she'll just grow out of it.  One day after riding around in the shopping cart and receiving numerous comments on how cute she was she says to me in a sorrowful voice, "everyone likes me".  I think she used to be pretty quiet around adults, and then started to open up as we became friends with the neighbours on our old street last spring (right before we moved).  Then when we moved away she totally stopped talking to people.  I'm sure things will change, although I was very quiet too.
