Meme: 3 panel Bike Fall comic

  • 1st panel: Guy riding bicycle with stick in hand. “Friends aren’t saying hi or bye to me when I look at them. They must be mad at me.”

  • 2nd panel: I’ll avoid making everyone more mad by not forcing them to say hi or bye.

  • 3rd panel: Why does everyone think I’m mad at them?

True story. This happened with a few friends/acquaintances. I stopped participating in a hobby and attended related social events. I didn’t know if people would remember me or be mad at me that I disappeared for 1.5 years. When I returned, I would look at people and give them the opportunity to choose to say hi or bye to me because I didn’t want to force myself on them if they wanted space or forgot who I was. About 5 months later, one of the guys I got along with told me that people thought I was mad at them because I wasn’t saying hi or bye to them. 🤦‍♂️

Edit: Whoops, forgot the attachment.
