As somebody with social anxiety, it sounds like your MIL also has social anxiety. Hence, the constant need to have to reinforce that other people can stand her. I had to train this out of myself in my late teens/early 20s.
I know it’s annoying to deal with, but showing a little compassion and simply affirming that you’re exhausted but her relationship with you is secure will go a long way for her. She’ll probably get used to you being quiet around her too.

My brain can’t make sense of the thumbnail.
What does PCB stand for?
I won’t sit idly by while there is a PRETENDER TO THE THRONE.
I hate to be “that zoologist” (because I’m not a zoologist), but isn’t that a shrew?
Can somebody explain what this Raspberry Pi is that I see talked about all over Lemmy? Certainly, it is no pie, but I can’t seem to grasp what it actually is.
No, literally. Sauce?
