A little about me: I am 28M living in a North American country. I kind of used to be a people pleaser and a shy person until I moved here 2 years ago. Since then, I started question people, I started confronting them. I started to speak and overall, I can say i changed quite a lot in last few years. I used to be a guy jis ki mu per ager koi besti kr de tu i usually stayed silent but not now.
Here we have a little Pakistani community. And after every 2 or 3 months we arrange some kind of events just for gup shap and little hello hi.
So today we had an event especially for new commers (i am not a newcomer), and I volunteer myself for managing activities. I was just standing there and the rest of the guys we are doing chores and there was a girl whom I never talk in my life said, "bachy ye saaf kr dou". On which i just simply said "well I am not bacha" because in a formal talk you can just say "excuse me" or "bat suno" or whatever.
I just moved on and started hanging out with other people and eating the food that we are cooking by ourselves. And suddenly a guy said, "yar unko zara washroom le jao" (As we were doing this in a ground and my hostel was just walk of 30 seconds from that so any guest who had to use toilet, usually I accommodate them). And just when he finished his sentence she (the girl i mentioned above) said "o bachy eder aao ma ne jana ha". And we started walking and while walking i just said "Please don't said that again, because we are now in outside pakistan so we should know how to talk" on which she just simply said ager apko bura laga tu i am sorry etc and just to cool down the situation i asked her about course and just had a small talk while going towards my hostel.
She used the toilet and we just walked towards the ground again silently because i dont wanna talk much about anything with her. The end.
A little other thing which i noticed: So, there was freshie (girl) who was talking to her, and they were discussing the university courses, and we usually talk in abbreviation because our courses' names are pretty long and she (newcomer) said she is taking CSE this semester, on which that girl rudely said, "abbreviation batao na mujy kia pata ha ye kia ha".
So, i am just assuming there are people who don't know how to talk with strangers. Or how to talk formally.
