Answers:
Hi, how about to check her star sign, maybe it's just her nature? That is actually showing you that she is can be on her own and it's not a bad thing. Have a look at this site, good luck

Just give her time! My guess is that she needs other kids around her! Be tough, let her be a kid!
Elder people will baby her and give her that one on one .Other kids can be mean and expect her to share or take turns .And even if she does this , she may be shy .It's okay to like being the only child . And she'll begin to play she's only been here 3 years .Just hope she stays picky when she's 9 and up .
try getting her to interact with more kids.. like organize some group kids game or something either outside or inside the home.. she'll learn to enjoy it that way.. make sure she enjoys this or else she can have probs dealing with ppl when she grows (not a concern now!)..
It is only school age children who are expected to want to spend time almost exclusively with others the exact same age as them. (How many of your closest friends and colleagues at work were born within 8 months of you?) Now that 3 year olds are considered school age, these unrealistic expectations have been extended to them.
Don't worry about it. Your daughter has a wider than "average" interest level. Go along with her and love her individuality.
That is normal. Give her time around other children, and she will eventually join in. I had a little girl like that in my daycare class. It took her a few months, but she did finally start playing with the other kids.
Social skills at age 3 are not indicative of what they'll be when they grow up so don't worry. Just encourage her to play with others but don't push her. She might also be intimidated by big groups so maybe have a play date with just one quiet toddler her age at your house so she doesn't feel frightened. Or perhaps she's just more advanced than kids her age and needs to meet some friends a bit older than her. Eventually she'll come out of her shell. :)
Good luck!
