In some ways, I can relate, as I am very reserved and private in social settings, and really only ever feel free to be myself when I am with my sisters. Trust me on this: she is NOT a shell. She has a lot going on in her thoughts... she just doesn't feel good about expressing them with you.
I agree she may be depressed. (Pretty obvious, with her crying in public.) I suggest cognitive behavioral therapy, but speaking as a nurse who believes the population is vastly over-medicated, I sincerely hope she stays off the psych drugs. They don't work half the time, anyway, and when they do, they often create addicts.

Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?
