>have no friends or anyone to talk to in meetup
>"why don't YOU try engaging with people?!"
>walk up to someone, say hi and headpat
>they reply with a greeting so I ask about their day
>I can already tell by their body language they are reluctant to answer
>they give some standard generic answer and at the same time they are looking around and past me
>finish off with "anyway I'll hop around a bit" right after without giving me time for a followup response
and so back I go to being the only person silent and observing the meetup
