Translation: Last month my friends started hassling me. They gave me some lame excuse. I choose to ignore them.

Translation: Last week they gave me an ultimatum. I choose not question any of them further even though that seems a bit harsh.

Translation: After simmering a few days I decided "F*ck them". I'm going to show up on my TT bike anyway!
Group's response translation: F*ck you. Can't you get a hint?

Your social radar needs some fine tuning. Or you're extremely self centered. Possibly both.
