I thought the nonsensical responses couldn't get any worse...until this post.

Hogging the stage = wrong
Hogging the stage when quiet person gives a phumphering answer and hand signal =/= hogging the stage.

I suspect you will continue to have problems getting along with people.

Is the is old "I'm rubber and you're glue what you say bounces off me and sticks to you" defense? Honestly, if you hadn't thrown in the word "egotistical" I'd have thought these were the words of a 7 year old.

Who has said this was ALL your fault? What everyone I've seen who has replied has said is that it was PARTLY your fault (which is true).

Stop focusing so much on other people's actions, and focus more on your own. Your thoughts and actions are the only ones you can control.

I don't think you understand what introvert/extrovert really mean.

Introverted does not mean shy and door-matty.

I'd have waited till a song was over and say "mind if I join you up there?" Again, with no audience it was a jam session, not an open mic, as another poster stated. You don't know how to do that without anger seeping through your words, so you just sit there and resent them later.


Regardless if the situation was your fault or not, your reaction was your fault, and that is the ONLY part any of us have control over. Again, do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

Sorry, when they asked you if you were going to play you should have said YES.
This was a question with only 2 possible answers: yes or NO.

Your evasive answer meant no, so this is what they understood and that's why they left.
How did you want them to respond to your maybe? beg you? I'm sorry, your reaction is childish.

I wonder what makes people here so interested in arguing that I caused it?

Whenever there are problems between people, of any kind, there is usually some fault on both sides. Maybe one more than the other. But it's very seldom all caused by one person.

So if people had said these guys were inconsiderate, yet I should be more assertive, that would make some sense to me.

But if you say the whole problem was caused by me, then I have to be skeptical of your motives. I think you enjoy bashing. That is not unusual, it is a basic fact of human nature. Some more than others. And being anonymous lets you go wild with it.
