I went to another meetup last night, this time it was a quiz night. It was a chilled evening at a cafe/games place. 1 of the older women there was very patronizing. Everytime I spoke she would speak to me in a strict tone for no reason whatsoever. She even berated me for not being into Harry Potter!. I also felt like my suggestions were being ignored at times. I hate it when I speak and then people look away and I'm not acknowledged. A lot of fellow introverts will relate to this. In the company of highly extroverted people it can feel like you're indirectly ostracized. Like they're somehow superior because of the adventurous lifestyles they lead in comparison.
I've got another 2 scheduled for next Thurs & Fri. I could have stayed out as I was in the mood for a dance but didn't realise my old friend was in town until I got home. Later on, the wholein street walked into my kitchen and sat down in front of my mum smoking weed till after 2am. It's easy to say kick them out but it could have escalated as they were drunk so we tried to keep the peace. They were civil but it was completely disrespectful
. I'm not sure about creating a new thread but I guess I could think about it.
