When growing up my mom always had me bring something to a friend’s house when going to hang out. I now feel like I hear that it is rude to do so. This makes me feel even more awkward when I get to someone’s house. So what should I do, bring something or nothing.
If it is not normal it may be an Italian thing since my whole family does this.

Maybe bring something relevant to your encounter? I brought a tonic to share with my gf since marijuana is legalized in our area 😛
If you were going over to a friends house to play video games or something and you just have a random bag of chips, that may seem a bit odd, but not terribly so. If you were going over for dinner and you brought a side or dessert or beverages that would be a totally normal and polite thing to do.
It’s so sweet that you carried on your family thing like that. If you aren’t sharing food and bringing it over, that’d definitely be weird but if you brought it to share, then they are weird for not liking your gestures hmph😤
