At first they are mad at me for no reason then I start being annoying so I can laugh at the fact I make them mad instead of feeling bad about it (:

If everyone's "mad at you for no reason" all the time everywhere you go, there probably is a reason, it's just that you don't know it, and they're not doing their job by explaining it. It's particularly bad if they act like you should be psychic and have a perfect childhood with communicative parents that teach you everything and no learning disabilities and should've known already. And then assume that all of that is true and that you're just being offensive on purpose, so they just get upset at you without asking questions or giving you a chance to explain.

That said, if instead of trying to figure it out, you just switch to being annoying purpose all the time forever, then you end up being a total sociopath no different than Musk, Spez, or Zuck. They probably had people be mean to them too.

Edit: Shit, I just remembered that Musk said in an interview that people used to chase him around in groups trying to beat him up for no reason. It sounds reasonable because I've had that happen to me as well, and also happen to others for really dumb reasons like having a speech impediment or really bad allergies. That said: looks at how Musk is now...

lol just find some way to derail the conversation to a controversial topic you know about that would also be rude to interrupt.
