Now, I'm a shy person. I'm the first to admit it. As I've grown older, I've trained myself to not let the shyness show and, even though I still feel very shy around new people, I try hard to make sure they don't see that. It seems to work in most occasions.
Well, there's this lady who is older, around 53 I think, (L1) and she is VERY shy. She is so nice, and quite unconfrontational, and she has become friends (willing or not) with another lady who is in her 60's-70's, I'm not sure. This other lady (L2) is very loud, not shy at all, and obnoxious in the most annoying way. Well, she's nice (mostly...) to L1 and they are considered friends. L1was eating dinner with us all and L2 was asking if she was feeling better because L1 had been sick since L2 had been gone. It was a genuine question and L1 politely said she was feeling a lot better. The other ladies at the table verified that information. Well, because L2 is so dang nosy, she continued to pry and asked if L1 had seen a doctor. As a side note, I was told (with speculation of the teller) that L1 went to see a psychologist. That's fine, but remember that a psychologist is a doctor. So L1 finished chewing her food and said to L2, "That's really my business." and L2 was taken back. It was SO FUNNY I was trying to keep my laughter to myself! L2 is always thinking she's in the need to know basis of everyone's life. She just got told by the one person that I'm sure she thought would tell her everything, because like I said before, L1 is very unconfrontational.
I just had to write about it. It was a fantastic moment which I felt the need to share!
