Okay, one weird pouting, ranting status update to follow folks - Ive tried repeatedly to meet people and make friends of men and women since moving to Bellevue in 2008. I tried joining a church group in which one of the members made negative comments about where I worked and what I did for a living. When I told her I didnt appreciate her comments, she informed some of her girlfriends I was confrontational with her. The leader heard about this secondhand and asked me to leave. Recently, I heard about an organization called Meetup that helps people throughout the country meet others with similar interests. I joined a group for people in their 20s and 30s and went to a Monday evening trivia night fairly regularly since late August. I found it difficult to break the ice with members however as, though I would ask people how their week was going and said hello, I seldom got much more than a hello back as they proceeded to talk to their friends and ignore me. On Monday night, I made a passing comment to the group leader about trying to get more involved with the group, whereby I was informed she had better things to do than listen to my pouting, and it was my own d--n fault if I was such an introvert. She also informed me I was welcome to come back provided I never again make another incident of talking to her. At the time Im typing this, it is 12:30 a.m. Tuesday and I am unable to sleep. I feel like an absolute freak of nature and also feel like I should bury my head in the sand. Why cant I make friends, why do people hate me so much and why cant I be normal? Shutting up now, Keith Rydberg
