Today, I decided to make new friends, so I sat with the lonely guy at lunch. Now he keeps following me, with his phone in a camera position. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, in an effort to make new friends in my history class, I sat in the empty seat next to a friendly-looking guy. He got up, walked away, and sat down in a different seat. FML
Today, trying to be nice, I sat with the lonely kid at lunch. While eating, he started laughing and showed me his hit list. I was at the top. FML
Today, I was at the mall and I noticed this guy staring at me from across the food court. He smiled and waved at me so I walked over there and tried to talk to him. He was looking at his girlfriend the whole time. FML
Today, feeling bored and lonely, I drove into town to wander around the shops and go to Subway for lunch. While there, I picked up two trays and put one on the opposite side of the table, along with some of my rubbish, to make it look like I was with someone. FML
Today, I was eating in the food court at the mall by myself but then a cute guy from my school offers to sit by me, I say yes of course, he then asks me for a french fry. Later on I realize he has eaten half my meal. He only wanted to sit by me for my food. FML
Today, I went out for lunch with one of my co-workers. After work, I talked to one of my friends about how unpleasant the lunch was with him. My co-worker was standing behind me listening in the whole time. FML
Today, I went to my Calculus lecture, one of a class of 200 people. As I looked down I noticed that a guy a few rows in front of me was on Facebook. When I took a closer look, I noticed he was viewing my profile. He stalked the profile for a full 45 minutes. I have never met this guy in my life. FML
Today, I went to a school football game alone. I sat next to these hot girls. To seem cool, I picked up my phone and had a fake conversation with the coolest guy in the grade. Halfway through, he came over and talked to the girls. FML
Today, I made a new friend at my college campus, which was great, until I added him on Facebook and he started liking posts from 3 years ago, asking if he could be my "dirty little secret" because he knows that I have a boyfriend. FML
Today, I had lunch with a couple of my friends and a guy I like. Another guy I have a crush on came and ate with us too. After lunch, one of the guys I have a crush on told me the other guy I like is sexy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP, if he ever decides to go on a psychotic killing spree, he will spare you because you showed him a shred of kindness ... tell yourself that to get to sleep at night.

It sucks when you try to be kind but it doesn't go as planned.

I'd be terrified to even go to sleep.

Record him back and see what he does.

As a guy who's alone a lot, for me it's because I simply prefer to avoid social interaction for totally non-creepy reasons.

So does he have a Samsung phone?

# 14, that's not nice at all. While it is true of some people, it's not true for everyone. I was teased from pre-school to 8th grade, so I just stopped trying to get to know people. Then, in high school, my now best friend decided to sit with me at lunch and helped me to trust again. I was alone due to withdrawing from the world, not because I deserved it.

Why would you go with the guy that ALWAYS sits alone? I know it's the kind thing to do, but the people that usually sit alone are kind of alone for a reason. If people haven't invited them to sit with them out of pity, then they probably are very very creepy/weird. Or have mental problems that make them act inappropriately because they're kind of socially inept. Anyway, sorry that happened OP.

You people are funny. It's like you expect the kid that sits alone to be some great talker. He's alone and he feels like shit, it's not his fault and don't blame him when he starts clinging to you when you act like you want to be his friend.

The reason no one say with me in high school was because I was fat, not because I was very creepy or weird. No pity invites. Well, I did get a few people stop by and make fun of me for having the gull to eat lunch, but that doesn't count.

During my senior year the one friend I shared a lunch period with moved, leaving me to sit at my normal lunch seat alone in between two different social circles. Eventually those social circles moved away from my table leaving me completely alone right smack in the middle of two long rectangular tables pushed together. I received no pity invites because hey, I sat alone, I must be weird, right? I mean, by your logic, anyone sitting alone is a complete weirdo and weirdos don't get pity invites. No. I was not sitting alone by my own choice. I was sitting alone because I happened to share my lunch period with only one friend, who moved away. That does not make me weird or antisocial.

What's wrong with being weird? Just because someone's not "normal" doesn't mean that they are dangerous. Weird just means interesting and not like everyone else. If they are socially inept then they might have Autism (people who have Aspergers/High-Functioning Autism often don't even know they have it and go undiagnosed) that makes it hard for them to fit in and socialize with other people. Some people are just loners and prefer to be alone or have Social Anxiety and socializing with others is frightening for them.

Guys, but just because this happened with one person doesn't mean don't talk to lonely people

My family moves around a lot, and it's hard adjusting to new places where cliques have already been formed. Not all people who sit by themselves are creepy.

According to your profile, OP, you are 14 years old. There is plenty of time ahead for you both. Good job reaching out to him. Even though it didn't go as planned, maybe you can guide him regarding what is socially acceptable and what is not. Tell him to put away the phone. Smile from time to time. Speak from time to time. You know... He could have great potential! And if not him, then there are plenty of lonely people out there who need and deserve a chance. Don't let this one time incident get you down. Be strong OP! :)
