And what language and region is it?

I’ve noticed my language teacher uses the informal you in one language and the formal one in the other.

    Living in Quebec this is my own private little social anxiety nightmare when meeting new people. You want to talk about pronouns? This is the real pronouns issue. Do I go with tu and seem overly familiar? Do I go with vous and seem standoffish? Does it depend on age? Degrees of separation? Station in life? Nnnnnnnnnngggggghhhh

        This makes sense at first glance but I have never heard anyone do this ever, and it seems like it might make the situation feel even more awkward.
