My mother wont give my very, very shy boyfriend a chance

A female age 30-35, *emondoll writes:

I started dating a guy ive known for years hes been a close friend for years. I live with my mother that has had a bad past and is single by choice and whom i am close with like shes my best friend. But hes not a socialble person with people hes just getting to know [my mom anotherwords is the main example] and my mom keeps saying he is going to hurt me and hes possesive and other negative things when she doesnt even know him. Things have happened like that to her. She assumes it because he doesnt talk to her much. Its not that he doesnt want to he does and i know him well enough that his intentions are good. Hes not good with words hes very shy doesnt know what to say to her. Sometimes its hard for him to talk to me cuz hes shy! And he believes as much as i do that he comes over to see me not her but yet she gets mad. Now i know people say well maybe she sees something i dont but i have been friends with him five years! How can i get her to give me and him a chance and why does she get so upset?
