AIBU on group phone showing

[mightyducks]

AIBU- today I went for coffee with some ladies I don't know that well- know one of them well who invited me- was quite a big thing for me as I've moved to a new area and these were some of the school Mums. All was going well and then one lady started discussing a photo she had on her phone. She then proceeded to hold her phone out to the three other ladies and then didn't show it to me. It felt like she might as well have shouted 'you're not welcome here newbie! ' at me ( okay exaggeration but you get the picture) AIBU to think that was rude? Or am I being very over sensititive?

Definitely rude. Even if you didn't know the people in the photo. What did the one who knows you say? Sounds like these people aren't worth knowing.

She didn't didn't mention it but she's lovely so I imagine she was cringing inside. It's so hard being the new Mum - possibly she was feeling defensive about me becoming friends with her friend, who knows.

Why are some people so rude and odd?

I always feel a little self indulgent when showing photos, more intrusive than sharing a though, sticking an image in front of someone and expecting them to react favourably.

I wonder if your lady had a similar confidence crisis? I wouldn't read too much into it.

*sharing a thought!

Ignore incident and carry on oblivious she'll either accept you in the end or not, and other people will respect you for it. Good luck! Xx

I like if possible to be direct about things rather than seethe, so I would probably have spoken up and said, "Are you going to show me? I'd like to see it too!"
It was indeed very rude and unkind of them to ignore you. Their manners leave a lot to be desired.

Well she was a little rude but perhaps it was a photo she didn't think would interest you? Maybe people you don't know, or something she was embarrassed to show to a new acquaintance? You might be being a little oversensitive here, tbh.

I think you're being over sensitive. You don't know the other 3 people and they don't know you. I think it's inevitable at some point the conversation was going to have some references to events or people common to them.

Why would you want to see a photo of a person/ place/ thing/ event which means nothing to you and would probably still mean nothing even if it were explained ?

Or being expected to react favourably to photographs.
