Multiple people have asked me about my mom's social skills, which have become awkward as fuck over the last year or two. It's like she has a series of scripts that she repeats when in certain conversations, like she'll tell a story and mention people or places that the other person will have no way of knowing. Sort of like telling inside jokes to random people. All while doing it with a very loud or aggressive tone, even if it's a joke, which results in the other person just staring at her and pretending to laugh or chuckle at the end. I don't remember her acting like this until a year or so ago. Like...special fellow shit basically.
It's almost like a tic or something. And when she's not doing that she'll interrupt you during a conversation with loud, dramatic "no, no NO. OH NO" type of adlibs and other things that are just awkward as fuck. And she doesn't do it to be mean btw, but it comes off very aggressive and odd.
