My daughter is like this too, she’s crazy at home and as soon as we’re in public she will stare into their soul!
Could have written this about my daughter, crazy funny wild at home with a huge personality, but extremely shy and timid outside. At sensory classes she will just watch as all the children pile into the middle to get the next toy the teacher puts out - she will just sit on my lap until everyone has finished and want me to go with her to get said item - she’s like a different child. But with that she’s also really gentle and kind to all children, she will always share and if anything she’s the one who often gets her toys snatched off her or scratched / bitten at nursery etc 😢. As much as I hate that, and hope that one day her confidence grows more out of the house, I’m so proud that she’s so kind and gentle in that way with others x
My son is the same, he's starting to get a little more confident now but generally very shy and reserved in public
