[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- Okay. So if this is normal, I just need to prepare to socialize with my friends and a 15 year old everytime we host them?

Im aware this sounds stupid, but do you all just sort of accept that you have to chat with boring and pedantic teens now (this one was a vegan and told us all about it) when you are trying to socialize with other adults? [/quote]
The problem is that your attitude is not normal. First, try to realize that you don't need to act fake, just be real and be yourself, and treat her the same as everyone else in the room. You should also realize that there is a possibility that you might be the boring one, not her. From your description, I imagine you are the type who puts kids on screens for a large chunk of the day rather than interacting with them, or (gasp!) teaching them something. Usually, the kids who are left to their own devices (no pun intended) are the ones who have a more difficult time with school and life. The teen you mentioned sounds quite aware and developed and you sound like you cannot have a very meaningful conversation beyond socializing.[/quote]
