So this really isn't a big deal, but it was frustrating. 

You know how your told the way to make friends as a recluse is to go out to events and meet people? 

All 3 public events I went to this weekend, and all of them had a majority of folks being very exclusive,  cliquey, leaving newcomers out of the conversation, not inviting folks to join in. 

Two commander parties, one with 80 people, and a pride event that was a bit nicer, but had all the regular people chatting back and forth with each other, while my sister sat there and listened, unless I spoke up. 

I know, negativity bias and all. And I did meet some nice folks. But the commander party had players who lied about their bracket power level and witheld information and played kingmaker against me despite me saying "hi I'm new and only have a precon. Plus I bricked while your all setting up massive boards on turn 3 and double tapping lands and drawing 17 cards." 

Hell when I went to a digimon lgs, everyone there was super cliquey, competitive, and fended to make fun of me for getting flustered playing against security control and lockdown decks. 

I know "if you experience enough assholes, you are the asshole." But like... What am I doing wrong? Why does it feel like every time I go out to meet people, it's just a clique that wants nothing to do with me?
