Ever had that awkward moment when you think your still friends with someone and they act like you don't exist? It's like when you go in for a high five and the other person makes no notice of you standing there like an idiot with your hand in the air and that weird "High Five" smile on your face. There's no rebounding from that. Seriously. Best case scenario you pretend you were doing some sort of robot dance move that required your hand up at that odd angle. There's just no recovering from that much awkward.
I'm not exactly familiar to people pretending I don't exist. With as in you face outgoing as I am I make it pretty difficult to just delete me from your life. I am also a person who doesn't go out of their way to make people upset or hurt, I usually go out of my way to bring around the opposite. So I don't come across feelings like this directed at me very often.
Recently though, I have and I am not sure how to recover from it. Worst part is, I knew the person fairly well we chatted and hung out, so this wasn't like a regular old high five, this was like a up top-round the back-hand shake-slide-snap-knuckles-jellyfish high five.
Try robot dancing out of that one.
Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to take it how it was and just walk away with what dignity I had left. Nope, I had to call him out for completely blowing me off and pretending like I didn't exist.
Survival tip #1: Just walk away.
That's when the most frustrating part happened. Instead of just fessing up to totally ignoring me, he tried to play it off by saying something completely ridiculous like, "Psh what do you mean, I totally high fived you."
It's like, "No. No Sir you did not."
At this point refer to survival tip number one. Do not, at all costs continue this debate. So what did I do? Turned the whole situation into,
Yeah huh!
Nuh uh!
Yeah huh!
Nuh uh!
Yeah huh!
Nuh uh!
You know. Very mature like and such.
Sadly this story gets worse, he backed me into a corner using idiot logic, the only logic I am not equipped to battle. I was beaten, and had to shlunk away with only an "Alright then" as my closing remarks. I was beaten at a battle that wasn't even a battle meant to be fought. By a player who didn't even want to play in the first place.
Annnd robot dancing suddenly seems smooth. So very smooth.
