intergenerational conversations can be weird

I think I have some like. Major issues. Listen ik young people nowadays kind of have a different vocabulary and a different way of using it and stuff but another thing is that some gen x people sort of speak very... seriously. Like for example a teacher of mine talks in a sort of dead, kind of always disappointed tone, and every time she says like anything I always sort of think I did something wrong or I just get the impression that she doesn't like me. But what's weird is that that is the tone she always uses, she even laughs in a sort of forced, kind of strained way, even with her husband (who is also a teacher at the same school) and her kids (who go here as well... its a small town). And for the longest time I just kinda felt bad about myself after interacting with her but then I realized that that's just how she always is. And I don't know why, but it's not just her, a lot of gen x sort of has this very serious kind of tone. I'm not even sure that serious really describes it accurately but it's something like that. But half the issue is me because I think that because of insecurity issues if someonde isn't talking to me in a very bubbly happy animated kind of way I'll immediately assume they hate me... which is dumb, ik, I'm working on it.
