Somebody I know is the most boring and lonely human being on planet earth.
I'm sat waiting for something to happen with my PSP fired up, playing a game. A colleague walks over and goes "Oh, I just got a PSP. I've ben playing Ridge Racer", and we discuss the merits of that game. Another colleague walks over and says she's been borrowing her boyfriend's PSP, but she prefers her Nintendo. We all start discussing what systems we prefer to play.

Most boring and lonely human being on the planet walks over, says "Why are you playing games. That's sad. I prefer to socialise."

All conversation ceases. Awkward silence while everybody resists the urge to say "FUCK OFF"

ok
... which side is supposed to look bad here?

The "lonely and boring" one who would rather socialize, or the ones who like gaming and refuse conversation?

Well....
....There was an active conversation between 3 people with a common interest. I'd say that the person who called them sad and killed the conversation was supposed to look bad. Also, the person in question is hardly popular because of EXACTLY THIS KIND OF SHIT.

as you report it
you weren't being called sad. Your situation was being described as sad.

Really, what would have been wrong with replying along the lines of "oh it's just a bit of harmless fun y'know"?

Apart from the fact it doesn't work well in ALL CAPS, of course.

I like how he failed to see you were socialising about games. Silly man.
