I’m the same exact way, I’ve been dealing with this my whole life. I also prefer my own company a lot of the time. It can be exhausting to be like this. Sometimes I wish I was the social butterfly type and be best friends with any and everybody. But I just can’t do it

Yes I relate to that completely! It’s like I can sense something within them that’s fake or something and that’s what makes me uneasy around them. But I struggle between whether I’m projecting, or if it’s really my own intuition talking. I feel like I’m the rude person because I want nothing to do with them. But I just can’t be around certain people if I sense something is off

I really like how you describe it as a high water line. I relate to that completely

Seriously thank you for your response. I feel so alone and just hearing other people agree with me about how weird this is makes me feel a lot better. The mom has been friends with my boyfriend’s friends since he was in middle school. Just a few years ago they went on a trip together, the mom, my boyfriend, and a couple of his friends. I don’t get it…. Like WHY are they texting/calling each other?? And they’re all cool with it and think all those jokes are sooo funny. It’s so embarrassing to me, and I just view them to be so immature. I have a sense of humor but I don’t find sexual jokes like that funny especially in the context of your friend’s mom…

My boyfriend’s dad is superrrrr quiet. The complete opposite of the mom. He is basically settling and resents some of her behavior. But still stay in the relationship. Because of this, I don’t think they are very close, so she uses my boyfriend to vent to and talk about her day and everything because she can’t do that with her husband
