Lol my mom does this alot... especially with other Chinese Diasporas...

I mostly just keep quiet...

I mean in K-12 School, I sometimes did that... like those in the same class or sitting in the same lunch table, like there's the common thing of "oh we're both in this shitty situation together", and again, usually those who look Asian, I'd feel more comfortable talking to... idk why... Pan-Asian solitarity vibes maybe?

Out in the adult world? Oh jeez that sounds like it's gonna trigger my social battery to implode.

That said, I think I have Outside-world-phobia...
