Your a teen, obviously. However, learning to become and adult means learning to deal with the many things in life you don't enjoy or that causes you discomfort. Your embarrassment about your mother is one of them. I'm sure there been plenty of times in her life that she was and is embarrassed by your behavior, appearance, etc, etc (trust me!). So simply just suck it up

You know what , no matter if she does things you think is wrong like talking and wearing clothes you dont like she is your mother and untill you become of age she has a right to be in your social life . Geeze you know one day you will want her there and you will hunt for her to talk to . Maybe if you sit down with mom and talk to her you could help her to find the clothes she would look great in , and hair dos and things you can sit down and help her , she loves you or she wouldnt even be caring what you do .There are kids that would give anything to have their parents taking some kind of intrest in them , you are lucky .

If you are a natural person you should try cognitive behavioral therapy. It was the only thing that has helped me with my horrible health anxiety. Read here https://tr.im/VsyrA
Your thinking determines your quality of life. Your thinking is what causes you these feelings:
Anxious, fearful, stressed or depressed
Constantly worried, or angry about something that is happening in your life
Struggling to overcome obsessive and negative thoughts.
If you change your thinking, you will change your life. This is the basic idea behind CBT for anxiety. The Cognitive part is where you learn nee methods and ways to change your same old habits and thinking patterns. If you keep thinking and expecting the worst – You will continue to suffer.

some adjustments yet we dont understand yet what he has in strategies or what Congress would arise with. He didnt say. i'm in choose of removing lots of the wasteful social protection reward different than retirement. i'm not in choose of elevating the contribution ceiling because of the fact then SS will could pay greater reward while those human beings retire.

Tell her part of growing into an adult is learning to be apart from the family. That you won't be ready when the opportunity strikes if you don't do some solo flying now.
Later see if you can get her active in a hobby, women's club, church social.....

Depending on your age, I'm assuming you are at least 16? You deserve your privacy just like she does. Perhaps nicely and lovingly (you don't want to hurt her feelings) talking to her about getting herself involved in her own social activities will keep her out of your hair. Just speculating but she may just be worried about you and wants to make sure you are okay. Sounds like she just loves you.

honestly, i would tell you just to open up to her. You don't have to give her all the details of your life, but just let her in and talk to her about things. this way she won't pry at you for info, and you can let her in (politely) on the few things that annoy you. Maybe go shopping with her and help her pick out some clothes to wear. i'm sure she would really appreciate that. but like i said before, just open up to her, let her in on your life a little. i hope that works.

I don't have a clue on Chicago/Southern comments except this:
You are are a runaway when you are choosing to live without rules. Listen to your parent(s)...that is responsible behavior aka accepting responsibility (growing up).

Why are you putting social life in quotes, and why would you think anyone thinks you're from Chicago?

I personally think you need a new attitude. She is your mother and as embarassing as she may be, you are lucky to have her and she deserves respect.
