Well, I went to a few reddit meetups. and in the reddit facebook chat, there's this one guy who's already referring to me as the "creepy albino kid". I'm trying to convince myself that I still have the right to leave the house and talk to people. I'm not very convincing.

Wow, douchebags on the Internet, whoda thunk it.

"At least i didn't walk around with a wet spot on my pants all day."

yeah, but this douchebag is in real life and I don't know how to disarm stuff.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's tough. Humor's good for disarming stuff but hitting the right note can be tricky.

You'd handle it better than me, my response would be to go to next meeting and confront him about it. That never ever goes well.

My (admittedly socially inept, but...) way of handling that would probably be to make a post flat-out asking "So, am I coming across as creepy to everyone else, or is it just this one guy?"

Yes you have that right.
There's no right for assholes to not find something "creepy". Ooh, a lack of pigmentation. Ooh, someone who's a bit reserved and uncertain. That dick needs to get over himself.
The "kid" part was weird. Was he being dismissive or was he old?

I may look younger than I am.

As I was saying on gchat the other day, I'm frequently surprised at how much Reddit is still the teenage-boys-in-basements kind of internet.
