40 Plus & Delusional

I met two homeless women that posed as wise women. When I met them they were transitioning between apartments. But after the catastrophic events that happened after engaging with them, I now know that they were homeless bums looking for money. One of them was in their late 30s and the other 40s, I met these two regarding help and counseling. I will not disclose what counseling I needed. I found them off TikTok and their platform was large enough for me to think they were legit. I should have never given them a chance because they were nothing close to what they said they were. I have so many things to say about these two creatures, but I want to zone in on the 30-something-year-old. She was the definition of an adult stuck in the past. Honestly, they both were.

There were two main things she did that had me questioning her, but I was still gracious and did not make her feel insecure. As we walked together from her car, she asked me about watching Greek fraternities stroll. She seemed so interested in this topic, mind you this is a woman that should be far removed from college activities. Plus, she was not a member of a sorority. She said it like she missed out on that part of her life. She said it with a sparkle in her eyes, I let her know that I personally had no interest in such activities. Not the kind of question I wanted to hear from someone who claimed to be full of wisdom, especially because it had nothing to do with my counseling and the topic we were on. The second thing she did that was alarming was she randomly started twerking. She did this mid-conversation, she stuck out her tongue and said “ahhhhhhhh” and then proceeded to twerk her flat ass. Literally out of nowhere! I should have known because she had no problem talking about her sexual energy.

It really perplexed me but I remember telling her it was ok, I didn't want her to be uncomfortable. Even though she had made me extremely uncomfortable. It was the look in her eyes when she did these things that let me know that this woman was a child. I should also mention that she was very shriveled up in appearance. I mean both of them looked worse than me and clearly needed more counseling than me. She seemed to be in the past and did not realize her age. She lacked the awareness to realize that she was being inappropriate. I have met grown adults like this before but this one was the most pathetic because I was not expecting it. I'm glad I met them in person because they gave me the full scope I needed. Age does not equate to wisdom.
