<p>muzicgirl89, my classmates don’t want to let go of it. Maybe I need psychological help, but so do they.</p>
<p>pmvd, YOU wont let go of it either.</p>
<p>“Maybe I need psychological help, but so do they.”
LOL way to point fingers there. i think only 1, if any, need help. that would be you.</p>
<p>ok so you were rude bc u didnt want to talk and/or ur aforementioned bad social skills. so the normal person who is unaware of these bad social skills would take ur brush off as a red flag that you dont want to talk to them bc u dont like them or are a jackass (not bc you are, but those are the categories that ppl who dont need help who act that way fall). you acted abnormally, so naturally they are going to find you abnormal and therefore a topic of conversation.</p>
<p>you didnt want to talk to him in the first place, so why do you care about now? just go about your studies as you did before, and just find somebody else in the class to partner up with lol.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Then I guess it’s normal for “normal” people to emotionally abuse “abnormal” people. I guess I need to learn to live with it.</p>
<p>Also, I am not the jackass, they are.</p>
<p>i said your not the jackass.</p>
<p>you cant say that you have poor social skills, and then whine about the consequences without trying to remedy it. it’s fine for people to be antisocial, or shy, but you need to learn how to express shyness or something else as opposed to being rude, even unintentionally. as was shown in his interest to start a convo with you, he initially had no thots of bearing ill will towards you. it was you illfitted response that prompted his being weirded out, telling his friends.</p>
<p>From your post clearly it doesnt seem like these guys are trying to be friendly with you. I would not bring such a situation to a deans attention. If the guys made threats and your not sure how to handle the situation, as so to press charges etc…, then maybe you should see a dean/someone after all.</p>

<p>cutieflutie08, I can’t get over the fact that people can’t or don’t want to be more open-minded. I honestly feel that most people on this planet, with their limited mental resources or just plain sociopathy, are the ones at fault here.</p>
<p>

<p>That’s an interesting observation. Perhaps there have been some instances when I subconsciously acted rudely precisely because I didn’t want people to think I am shy, weak, defective or a coward. I must have reasoned that I’d rather let people hate me and thus honor me with their elevating me to the level of an archenemy than have them look down upon me as a poor, little, pitiable thing. I don’t know if that’s what happened the day I met the guy at the library, but it’s certainly a possibility. The problem is, if I want to express neither rudeness nor shyness, what else can I express without coming across as an *hole or an inferior?</p>
<p>Just ignore them. Stop caring. They’ll get bored of it soon. If not, oh well.
As everyone else said before, just say “Sorry, I can’t talk right now, I have something important to do.” if you really don’t feel like talking.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, unfortunetaly it is normal for “normal” people to emotionally abuse “abnormal” people. You haven’t realized this yet?</p>
<p>The first thing you need to do is to stop taking yourself so seriously. These guys probably don’t think of you as their “arch-enemy”, rather they probably just consider you to be some antisocial, quirky kid.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But those guys are not better than me. I am even inclined to think they are worse, since they hate me essentially just because I lack the social skills they have and take for granted. Imagine how pathetic I would be as a human being if I looked down upon those who are academically unintelligent, unathletic, unattractive, financially unsuccessful, etc. I would be a pathetic example of a human being.</p>
<p>Consider the way the first guy treated me. He couldn’t just ignore me but he had to badmouth me before his friends, as some of you have suggested. His friends, obviously lacking critical thinking skills, apparently also hate me, presumably because of the things his friend possibly told them about me. That’s scary.</p>
<p>I grant you that I am a moron when it comes to social abilities, but those guys, who are college students no less, are ■■■■■■■ when it comes to critical thinking.</p>
<p>So these guys don’t like you. So what? Move on buddy, it’s not like they can harm you unless you let them.</p>
<p>How do you know that they hate you and aren’t just somewhat annoyed at you and/or think you’re strange?</p>
<p>I don’t know exactly what emotion they feel towards me but I am pretty it’s not sympathy.</p>
<p>Also, why should they be annoyed at me? They could try to ignore me you know. I don’t present a threat to anyone. They should worry about something else.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The same reason Republicans oppose gay marriage when it doesn’t pose a threat to anyone. Hint: the world is not always logical, people will always do stupid/crazy/illogical things.</p>
<p>Better question:</p>
<p>Why do you even care? Seriously, you shouldn’t have thought about this for more than 2 seconds before moving on.</p>
<p>And what’s with everyone in this thread encouraging his behavior by offering suggestions on what they think the problem might be and what the other kids might be thinking and this and that… this is a complete non-issue. OP, you shouldn’t be taking it seriously and neither should anyone else.</p>
<p>“Why do you even care? Seriously, you shouldn’t have thought about this for more than 2 seconds before moving on.”</p>
<p>Because I feel uncomfortable going to class everyday and seeing those guys giving me dirty looks.</p>
<p>Stop caring about it.</p>
<p>^ Seconded.</p>
<p>Ask if they’re gay for looking at you so much.</p>
<p>If other people are getting to you, it’s because you’re letting them - right now, and every time you worry about what some a-holes in your class think, you’re letting other people control your life. Forget about them and about “being uncomfortable” (none of them are going to beat you up). just live for yourself</p>
<p>this cracks me up</p>
