People insulting you cause of cubing?

[Kyle Girard]

people will not shut up at my school! I brought a fisher's cube, and one persone said "you cant even turn that **** box of yours" I need help!

Ignore them? Stop whining?

When I first got a Rubik's cube (it was my friend's cube which hadn't been used for like 10 years), it wasn't just me who was trying to solve it. We had one cube in the class and it was like a class-wide challenge. After a day, we figured out how to solve the first layer. Then I learned how to solve it and taught about 10 people. Only I and a friend of mine continue though. So that's why nobody ever insults me or looks at cubing as a weird thing. Some people still want me to teach them some stuff.

I personally don't give a damn what others think about me.

Just ignore them... What do they know?

 

[Hadley4000]

I get teased about the cube from time to tim. But, who gives a flying f*ck?

 

[toast]

Ignore them, they're obviously just jealous.

When I bring my cube to school, people always ask me if I brought my cube. Sometimes I bring my cube just because my friends want me to show people.

Most people who insult you are just immature little kids who are either bored or frustrated, and set their mind on things directly visible from the outside. They spend all their time focusing on it until nobody considers it interesting.

The best way to fight immaturity (from my experience) is looking directly at the insultor's face and keep staring untill the person walks away. Don't say anything, don't show any emotions, just stare into their eyes. Eventually they will realize what they are doing and walk away (people are genuinely afraid of eye contact with a stranger)

My friends also want me to take it so I can show them and others, even teachers are interested! The first time I took it with me to school, there were 2 classes around me watching it

What?

They're not insulting you, they're just stupid...

And if you play around with it and/or solve it, why would they say you can't even turn it? They're making stupid people look mildly smart, so just ignore them and keep walking or talking to someone else or just say 'Yeah sure' and go about messing around with the cube.

One thing you should not do, is ignoring them completely. You could get lonely after some days (If evrybody is insulting you). It depends on how they insult you. Just find a good argument and they'll shut up. But you could try to get them interested in cubing, which is a good solution.

they could be:
1. jealous (most common case)
2. amazed (but not wanting to show it)
3. annoyed of the noise
4. think you're a nerd that they have the right to pick on
5. They are thinking, "IF HEZ CAN SOVEZ DEM CUBIX RUBES, DEN HE MUZT BE EVILZ ANDZ I GOTZ TO HATEZ HIM!!!!!"

if they're jealous, and are just shy to ask you, then tell them about how to solve it... if they show no interest, ignore them. If they're amazed and don't want to show it... I normally ignore them because they obviously don't want to learn and would rather watch a cuber do it. if they don't like the noise (pretty unlikeley) just avoid them. case 5, just think of a good comeback... case 6, don't bother making a comeback... because they have to organize their brains...

 

[Kyle Girard]

but these people are insanely out of their freaking minds, i have been cubing for a couple of months, and since there are REALLY HOT GIRLS at our school, they circle me and watch me solve it. the people who insult me get jealous i guess

 

[envy253]

not really an insult, but people call me racist for switching to a white cube lol

 

[lalalala]

lmao yea me too people always ask me if a white cube is better then a black cube and vice verssa and when i say white there always like "you rasist to black people" but when i say black the black people were like "HAHA were better then you" true story

 

[Artemissimo]

people don't like me in my class but for some reason i get asked to solve someone's cube at least once a day

 

[GAN 356 X]

Theres an awesome teacher at the school we go to that doesnt care if we cube at all. One time when we were finished me and my friend wrote algs on the white board and taught her to solve 2x2

 

[PugCuber]

My Friend Alex or QuickFastCuber is experiencing this. And it’s for some stupid reason. (I don’t remember what happened however)

 

[GAN 356 X]

Most of my class has fallen under the spell f the Rubik'd cube now, but for some reason there's this one idiot who thinks every other cube except a gan x is bad

 

[Competition Cuber]

but for some reason there's this one idiot who thinks every other cube except a gan x is bad

Is it you?
