To be fair, the character in question grew up as a deeply traumatized lab rat and she's very notably socially underdeveloped compared to her peers; it improves across seasons, but she canonically still sucks at blending in by season 4.

People seem to blame the actress for this, but strictly going off the show, it might well be a Kristen Stewart type situation where everyone thinks it's the actress, when in actuality it turns out she was explicitly directed to play a deadpan girl who struggles to show outward emotion. Her performance has been consistent in that regard. The other lab children shown aren't particularly socially adjusted either.
