This is why I just don't talk to people I don't know in public. It may make me look like an ass but I'd rather that then end up in an uncomfortable situation like this.

Doesn't mean you have to engage in unwanted conversation. I've spent many a night in a bar sitting at a lone table or end of the bar nursing a depressing moment. I liked being there because I wasn't alone even though I was. I would have definitely come across as an asshole if anyone had tried to start an unwanted discussion.

I know you're supposed to be social at a bar, but even then I've just had way too many uncomfortable encounters with people.

How do you meet new people or make friends? Why go to a bar?

I get it. I’ve occasionally gone to a bar because I don’t want to be alone, but I really have no intention of talking to anyone.
