In OG mainly because she's hunted by Shinra for five years (child Aerith in flashback is 10 y.o so until 15 y.o).
Tseng in Crisis Core didn't know Aerith is still alive until he checked on people around Zack; he kept Aerith status as MIA in respect to Zack.
Remake added part from novel that her high Lifestream sensitivity also plays part on it, made her difficult to befriend anyone due to different of perception about death.
How she ended up loved by everybody is because of Zack, as told in Crisis Core.
When she's 16 years old, she wanted to help Elmyra financial by selling flowers but not sure how to do it because, yes, she's bullied when she was child.
Zack idea is advertised themselves by helping people (side-quests), they eventually opened up to her. Notice that she's closer to children rather than adult.
Aerith in FF VII is 22 years old, so 12 years passed, enough time.
