All I did was walk up to people and chat to them in a friendly way. I thought that was the point of these places? But apparently some people only want to go to them to socialise with people they already know. Well, I have less sympathy than I used to for the struggles of pubs and bars.
That's ridiculous. Who advised you to walk up to strangers and chat to them? I have never seen anything like this happen in all my life. Anybody would have told you that you would be kicked out or banned. You should have stopped and reconsidered you actions after the first ban, by the way.
Thinking about that, the only time I tried to spoke with an NHS therapist, he advised me to "go to a pub, offer a beer to a friendly looking person and start a conversation." I replied with "That's r-word, I would be kicked out for harassing customers. People go to the pub to socialize with people they already know," He replied: "therapy requires faith. If you do not believe what I say, there is no point continuing therapy."Maybe you ended up with the same therapist?
If everyone was like you, there would be no progress. Oh yes, let's not talk to strangers. Let's not meet people and make new agreements and learn new things. God almighty, were you born yesterday?
Sorry for trying to help. I hope you enjoy being kicked out of pubs and put on a ban list, maybe that's your idea of "progress"? Maybe you get off on humiliation?
