*Warning: Long story before I get to the good stuff, As odd as it is, it definitely happened as accurate as I can recall.
Around 1997 I dropped out of college because I had a lot of transportation issues and was out of state and decided to go straight to work. I made a lot of friends there that I was still hanging out with for a couple years after I dropped out. at that age (22 I think) I was somewhat quiet and obedient type of person, not shy just not a talkative person. I met a girl at the dorms there and she just started that year and was living at home. I’ll call her Laura in the story to not reveal her real name as she may read this for all I know.
The first time I went to her house, Laura introduced me to her mom with the “this is my mom” type introduction but after saying hi, she kinda did the glance thing as she walked by and her mom would never say anything, not hi…nothing. She was hanging around of course just never said anything. Felt awkward but I always felt awkward around older adults anyway, probably from a life experience of adults telling me what to do or yelling at me as I never had an older friend growing up.
