Is this what they meant by "touching grass"?
Be me
>touching grass
This is a dead meme because everyone realized the real world isn't welcoming to 'outcasts' like you and I. Live to bring pain to a normie's day from now on and your heart will be pleased.
They sized you up and decided that you were a loser and that they wouldn't benefit from adding you to their social circle.
Once they realized that, they started freezing you out so eventually the awkwardness would drive you to leave.
You left, so their plan was effective. Another successful archery meetup in the books, fellow normies!
Touching grass can only work if there is something about you - something OBVIOUS to normies in the first thirty seconds of interacting with you - that normies feel will benefit them if you are kept around.
You weren't supposed to show up in a Robin Hood costume OP
They can tell you're "weird", having mental illness and bad/rusty social skills does that. Used to happen to me way more often back when I was fresh out of hs since I didn't have a single friend during those 3 years. But with practice and experience I've noticed that people ignore me less and generally just pay more attention to me than before. It can get better.
You are a piece of shit for telling OP to put in the effort so he can associate himself with pieces of shit such as yourself and the normies around us. Do you honestly want to befriend these people?
Holy fuck, are normalfags actually this cruel? Why even try at this point?
I can smell the reddit off of you, faggot.
>are they actually this cruel
Yeah, pretty much. They aren't outwardly mean or anything, but this is generally how it goes.
t. this is how most of my social interactions go
This is the most accurate thing I've read in a while.
When you realize this is in the process of happening it can be fun to start playing games with it, if you can turn off discomfort it can make them VERY uncomfortable. It's great.
well maybe if you blew them away with your impressive skills they would have talked to you, but I'm guessing everyone there was better than you
I appear to be high tier normie, so they treat me well at first, but as time goes on they start to realize that there's something off about me, and it's deeper than just regular autism. After that, they start to do this, but slightly more hostile.
was it Olympic style or the other plebian rabble
What I will say that you should get people to talk more about themselves, instead of expecting people to ask questions about you. Especially if you've got nothing much going for you, you should redirect attention towards others and ask them questions about themselves, since it leaves a friendlier impression of you (by virtue of omitting information about yourself. it is very shallow, yes). In a perfect world they'd reciprocate topics with you. They didn't though, and likely won't unless you give them unrequited attention. I'd prefer to focus on the actual archery instead of the socialization aspect, and treat them as tools to learn archery.
And yes, this is what "touching grass is". A reminder that normalniggers are unkind, closed off and hierarchical. They are overly socialized enough that they're just culturally different from you. If you weren't "in" before, saying hello isn't enough to get you in now.
I have been treated somewhat similar in my card shop. I have been going for months but people still don't really talk to me. I just feel uncomfortable about it, I haven't done anything wrong. I don't take the games too seriously and am happy to trade and sell for cheap.
Kek I was about to say I wish I had that option but the same thing would happen to me
Next time tell them you'd trade some card for sex. Then you might get laid.
Damn I can't imagine voluntarily going somewhere I know I'm hated for months.
Also unironically make sure it's not a hygiene issue. The only people I have resented at any sort of club have been people who smell bad.
fuck off, no one wants to listen to some faggot babble on about themselves
thats exactly why i will never go to some sort of club or meetup. the idea of being freezed out like that will not only feel extremely bad, but the experience will haunt me for a long time
You're too fucking stupid to understand what I wrote. Pea brained faggot
How did you find an archery meetup in the first place?
if i have a pea brain you have a grain of sand brain
>more hostile
Can u elaborate?
