When you meet someone you know
You introduce the person you are with
This is basic politeness
In most places
In Norway, it works differently
You will be introduced if there is a practical reason to do so
Otherwise, you may be left standing not knowing what to do
It is not meant as a rude, impolite or uneducated behaviour
It is simply more efficient and less risky not to introduce you
It prevents a potentially awkward conversation
Between people part of different social bubbles
Do not be surprised if you are left on the side
Not being introduced
