I remember on my first day of high school I sat alone in the cafeteria and two random people approached and started talking to me because they felt bad for me since I was sitting all alone. Did anyone ever approach you when you sat alone?

^^Yaye greetings jc6chan.

^^ I do believe lovely individuals have indeedy approached me when I was alone. ^^ I believe a lovely kitty have often wished to greet me withinin the past when I travelled to school. Also, when I started to attend University a happy human boy often wished to come to speak with me and another boy enjoyed sitting with me during lectures also. Now I believe they are my lovely friends at University.

Sure they do - I've had women come up out of the clear blue and invite me to have sex with them when I was just sitting around minding my own business. Not nearly often enough mind you, but it has happened. Don't misunderstand - I don't mean that was the first thing out of their mouth - only that they clearly approached with the intention of flirting and wasted no time getting to the point. Sometimes I think it would be great to live in a world where everyone just said what was on their minds. Then I realize that that would be great for about thirty seconds before it devolved into a global fistfight. :roll:

I'm actually more likely to talk to someone who appears to be a bit aloof or alienated from the crowd, because I figure they probably feel as out of place and awkward as I do. Then we can stand around making fun of everyone else while the normies suck up to each other.

It happened to me once, but the end result was more a very long awkward moment.

This has happened to me with both men and women unfortunately.

I am often approached in class, or in the library/lounge by strangers. Many just want to talk, others seemed unable to stop themselves. My lady friends have said I have a dark magnetism when I'm reading that makes me interesting. Too bad when I'm reading I want to be left alone, I wish I could harness my aura of mystery for when I'm not occupied.

I don't think any stranger approached me when I was sitting alone. I have had friends approach me when I was sitting alone at lunch.

Yeah I remember my last year on the bus...these 2 attractive girls that were a couple grades younger than me would flirt with me on purpose...I wasn't going to look like a fool so I ignored them and they laughed afterwards.

It never, ever happened to me in public school. In private school I was approached quite a bit, by people in my class (freshman) and upperclassmen alike and I made some friends fairly quickly. When I switched schools junior year it didn't happen in my new school. It all depends on the school. Out in public if I'm alone? No.

the same girl came up to me on the bus and i tryed to go to a different seat because she was very annoying. She KEPT following me. and talking about random stuff like "hi my name is so and so, i like doing this and that, and I also like to do this, what is your favorite ___?" i was like omg please shut up. i didnt say that but i just gave up moving she was gonna follow me no matter what. that bus ride was more then 1 hour because the stupid bus driver got lost.

It has happened to me a lot when I was 188 lbs in a 32" waist I had women approach me to talk. Every time someone just walks up to me without warning I get overly nervous then walk away. I had the woman's friends follow after me to talk s**t to me saying that I was stuck up or do you think you are better than her. I would just say I am sorry but I am really, really shy then they would say no one is that shy then they would make some rude homosexual comments then storm off. When I was a runner women would ask to run with me on the track only because I am a big guy and some weird guy was watching her from the parking lot. I am a scarry looking guy and I have had women I have been waiting in line with me to pay a bill and they have asked me to hold their baby as they rumage thru their purse, People standing around us usual giggle at the face I make when having a baby thrust into my hands. Weird 8O

Now that I am 295 lbs and have 42" waist all I get is old people asking me to help them with something technical like those touch screen pads some places a starting to use for sign ins. its weird old people do not make me nervous. Children, teenagers, and young adults make me nervous and defensive. :cry:

My friends like to say I am a major freak magnet because weird homeless street people flock to me. I also get the weird touchy feely people for some reason who have to touch me on my shoulder or arms. I workerd my old resteraunt job where there was a guy who had to put his hands on everybody. A waitress got tired of him doing it to her so she gave him an open hand slap in the face and the boss let her get away with it. So one day I was working on cutting up some cellery to go with some chicken wings so I was busy trying not to cut off my fingers when the jerk tried to talk to me when I was cutting so I moved and he followed me. I moved again and he grabbed my pony tail to pull me back so I slapped him and the boss ran up to him and fired him. It was like he got off making me uncomfortable and all I have to say is that it was worth cracking him one to see the look on his face.

Yes, to the point that I had to stop eating in the cafeteria. I'd be sitting alone, with headphones and a book, facing with my back to the room and never making eye contact and they STILL talked to me. I know they meant well, but I'm not shy, I just like being alone.

yes actually there was a new girl that moved to my school last year and she would always say hi to me and try to talk to me. I thought it was so strange, but nice because I was like the first person when she got there that she seemed to have an interest in for some reason.. Now though she's different but not really mean to me so that's good

A few times, mostly they just irritated me. "Do you want some friends?", "Why don't you talk to people?". "Do you like being alone?", "You don't like people? That's weird."

Damn it they pissed me off. A few were alright though. They were the people who had a reason to talk to me. Even if it is just asking for help on a chemical compound. This one girl, who actually is quite intelligent asks about two questions a week. I don't care about that. Just the people who are trying to get me to scream at them.

mostly when I stare off into space or look like i'm busy eating I had some occurrences at lunch.... but I always freaked them out or something because I saw the same people and they didn't even talk to me again. I was sad about it, but I got over it. Some were just talking at me and it was really annoying... like this one feminist boy who just kept talking about how women are mistreated blah blah blah half the girls he talked to never heard of a particular class he was in.... I was like shut up in my head. just because i'm a girl doesn't mean I care what you say about female issues.
