My mother was weird like that. Don't get me wrong. I loved her very, very much, but she was not very social. She had friends and would tell the lady at the grocery store checkout her life's story over and over again, but she would have never gone to a senior citizen's center. She didn't get along with the ladies at a group home where she lived after Daddy passed away. She complained a lot and wanted my undivided attention even though I worked all day, had a husband and two little girls to raise. She wanted to be around people she was comfortable with. I think as she got older, and your mom may be the same way, she did not want to make new friends, just pester the old ones and me of course. They can be sooo very frustrating, but we gotta love them!!
