      Social consequences, yes. Those are fine. In the same way that people have the right to be unsociable, other people have the right not to like them. This happened to me. 1/2https://twitter.com/mlowry/status/955575758767968256 …

      But of course behaving in a way those in one’s environment consider inappropriate usually has social consequences, and these just go with the territory. People disagree about what’s acceptable; there is no way to please everyone; life is compromise.

      I was considered to be behaving rudely because I walked my dogs after the school drop off but didn't walk with other mums. There was an intervention and I was informed by a small group of them that my avoidance of them was regarded as unsociable.

      I confirmed that I was indeed unsociable and that I treasured my morning walks for being my 'me time' when I was able to play music and think my own thoughts and not have to answer to anyone as I did for the rest of the day.

      Now none of them talk to me but as this was what I wanted in the first place and attempted to bring about by walking in a different direction so they couldn't talk to me, this is an absolutely acceptable social consequence.

      I'd actually be quite happy to have a chat at other times but no-one is having my morning dog walk. That is my time to exercise and get my thoughts in order and prepare for the day. You can't have it. Deal with it,

          Honestly, I find their lack of will to compromise on finding another time to get together - say a bruncheon or afternoon tea or something - to be much more of a testament to THEIR lack of social skills and what have you than anything else. They have no desire to empathize or

          Understand why you take those morning walks, they actively CHOOSE to take it as you thumbing their nose at them as a whole and in doing so are seeming to forget they are the school mums, not the school children, and not seeing the situation could easily be remedied.

          Ooh, I never quite looked at the morning dog walk in that way - other than the exercise that is. Useful. :)
