Why is my new kitten stressed and avoiding me after a scary incident?

Question

Dec 2 I got a new kitten& after 2 hours of her hiding in corners unless I stayed completely still, she was purring & laying right next to me all the time. She was still nervous but adapting well. She staid that way until 3 today. I got out robots (Cozmo and BB-8) 4 fun. She hated both& was really scaird of them. I put dem away after 5 min. Ever since she has been annoyed and stressed out. She doesn't lay next to me nearly as often and doesn't seem to like me mucn I don't know what's wrong. Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | spayed | 5 months and 4 days old

I would recommend giving her more space and time. Offer her lots of treats from afar without expecting any interaction. It sounds like she's warming up, it's just slow going. Some cats take weeks or months to warm up, and some never really want to interact with their humans. It sounds like she's totally normal, just not a social kitty. I hope that helps!
