I decided today to talk to a guy who I always see wearing band shirts like my chemical romance, bring me the horizon, and metalcore. I said "hey I noticed you like music, can I sit next to you?" I was really nervous and at first he was like "I was going to go sit with someone else but I can sit next to you." Apparently he is really uncomfortable too because after we talked briefly about bands ans sat through the class he got up and practically ran out of the room. I felt like such shit, I still feel like shit. At the time though I was so sad I didn't feel like moving. I feel hopelessly socially awkward and lonely. Anyone have anything to say about loneliness and social awkwardness.
Well, if you were able to strike up a conversation with a stranger IRL at all then you aren't as socially awkward as I am. You just had a bad experience; I don't think that this is in any way indicative of something wrong with you. As other people have already mentioned, there are a number of reasons that the guy could have abruptly left. Don't take it personally.
