Is it wrong to feel bad for her?

My school had a Valentine's Day dance tonight. It lasted 3 hours (7:00 to 10:00). Some people came with friends, some with dates and some alone, though they did find their friends. But there was this one girl who didn't dance at all. For the whole 3 hours, she sat there and just watched everybody else. I saw 3 different people encourage her to dance, but she refused, saying she couldn't dance. One of the 3 told her she just had to move, but she still refused. She sat there, quiet as a mouse, and it was obvious she wasn't happy doing that. Even when everyone in the whole cafeteria (where the dance was held) got on the dance floor at the same time, she stayed where she was, not budging.



I honestly feel bad for her. To come to a dance and just sit there and be bored and unhappy...I even heard her tell one of the students who told her to go dance that she only came to get out of the house. I think she must feel pretty embarrassed of herself to refuse to get on the floor even when the whole cafeteria did. I mean, if she was having fun with herself, then I'd think nothing of it, but she was clearly bored and sad.



What do you think? Would you feel bad for her or think nothing of it? Is it wrong/conceited of me to feel bad for her (I had a date)?Is it wrong to feel bad for her?
No, it's not wrong or conceited of you at all!! It just means you're a nice person who cares.



I'd probably feel bad for her too. I feel bad whenever I see lonely people at dances. It's weird that she'd come to get out of the house and not make the best of the situation, but maybe she liked sitting there and watching. Usually if I see someone sitting on the side I'll pull them in, regardless of their protesting (unless they REALLY don't want to).



If I were you I wouldn't think too much of it but it's nice of you to care.
its not wrong for you to feel bad. i used to do that. i would go to a school function to get away from home. i just couldnt get in the mood to participate knowing that after it was over id have to go back. i think something serious may have been going on at home, and she felt the need to get away.Is it wrong to feel bad for her?
no that is completely normal try to catch up with her tomarrow and ask why and try to be truly nice to her and try to become her friend
I think thats really thoughtful of u but perhaps something was bugging her. Also, if she doesnt hav a bf, mayb shes just sad that no boy asked her to dance or was interested in her.Is it wrong to feel bad for her?
No I think it is really thoughtful of you to be concerned :)
