Why do some students act so performative 😭

Bhai mai apni mummy ke saath shopping krne gya tha Kamla Nagar, after we were done, humne e-rickshaw liya Vishwavidyalaya tak ke liye. Otw, 2 ladkiya baithi rickshaw mai hamare saath DU ke paas se and BHAI VO AADHI ENGLISH AND AADHI HINDI MAI BAAT KAR RAHI HAI AND THAT WAS SO CRINGE

When we heard them talking, my mom and I looked at each other and we giggled 😭 and my mom is an extrovert, unhone unn ladkiyo se pucha ki "beta aap log college mai bhi aise hi baat karte ho kya, aise tuti futi aadhi english aadhi hindi mai?" 😭 and uss cheez ka reply unhone NORMALLY hi kra

Like maine pehle bhi posts dekhi hai iss server mai regarding that DU ke kuch colleges mai almost sab hi English mai baat krte hai, and it's lwk tough to initiate a conversation with them and same goes for Hindi
