There were a couple occasions where she yelled at me and said things like, "I see what you post on your social media!" Another time we got into an argument and she didn't talk with me for three years afterwards.
I think that there are a few things at play here: I have very low self-confidence (especially in this particular context) and low social power/value Perhaps young people and women have low social status in this industry Perhaps these people were just more open and approachable
