She probably is coming from a place of trying to build you up, but you can't build someone up with lies. I have the same disconnect from the people in my life. I think it's partly my disability. The therapist says it comes from childhood emotional neglect and I often can't identify what I feel if anything. Interactions are very tentative seems like and I haven't made myself a part of their lives so they go about their routines and never think of me. Like you say though, I don't know the people in your life so can't say for sure
