Why are people on my case about playing basketball?

Question

I am 6'3. or 6'2. Idk which one my mom is 6'1 and everyone says Im talling than her. But anyway Im tall and I weigh 220lbs. And every time I see someone PEOPLE I DONT EVEN KNOW they are always asking if I play ball and always I should. But the thing is I dont like ballin. I tried out in 6th grade and made it but I could never get a ride to the games. So I guess you could say I was not even on the team. LOL. But It just gets REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY annoying! I hate it, someone is always asking me what sport do I play. I dont know them and they just run up to me and start a convo like that. Its just really irritating. I also suck at the sport since I stopped playing. Im in 11th grade now. And I actually think the only reason I made the team is because I was the tallest one there, idk. But its just absolutely the most aggravating thing ever!!!! Seriously I wouldnt play the sport if I was semi-good. Basketball just isnt fun to me. i DONT LIKE IT!!! So why do people just run up and ask me if I play basketball??

Answer 1

hey what sport do u play? u look like u might be a basketball player wana play a pick up game?

Answer 2

Cuz ur built like a basketball player...It sucks if you dont like it but thats how you are and you cant change that. If you dont like it, dont play it.

Trust me its better that way.

Answer 3

Don't listen to those people (and the other reactions). Tall people often have this problem. Maybe you can give some answers like "No, because I'm already in karate or weight lifting for 5 times a week" or "I'm too busy with collecting stamps' or something like that.

I think you're really cool and people shouldn't bother you with such nonsense.
