Quote from: RTCovenantmentslityQuoteLol, welcome to public school.
I went to a Catholic school, so when I joined activities like the summer baseball league, I was in a group of mostly public school students. I didn't know anybody, which meant that I was quiet and just remained friendly. But they were inexplicably rude, rowdy, and mean. To them, and to their parents, they seemed to think that their behavior was normal. I even sensed hostility towards me from their parents, but I didn't know for sure. This continued on into high school, when I finally joined the public school system. Eventually it seemed like people were growing out of it... but I'm not sure!
But I think the other guys are right. Your subconscious is powerful, maybe you think they won't like you so they don't. Maybe you should tell yourself that people would like me while meditating or whatever floats you boat.
That is kind of odd though, do you look at them weird? Do you give them any weird body language? Are you treating them differently than before?
And more importantly, remember not to overreact, everyone has their bad days.
Kids have a "pack Mentality", and some adults never grow out of it. Usually the things that define the pack are a leader that they all follow, and a target that they're all against. If you're vulnerable, you make a good target. Nothing unites people like a common enemy, and a kid who can get one or two other kids to share his hate of someone will be popular very quickly. Of course, he can loose it just as fast.
Hopefully, it's all behind you. In any case, watch out for it amongst adults.
Cheers,
