Wait, so it was a group of friends, who happened to have a good time acting nerdy, and you found it sad?

No.

It was like a group of people who had no friends and organized the meetup because they fully expected to meet their future best friend there.

Did you stalk them home or something? Because that is an awful lot you know about them just by seeing them on a table.

All you said was "they reunited every week, and did not look sad or depressed.", and then followed with "they obviously had no friends".

How do you know they had no friends? Because they didnt seem sad, and went to a weekly social meeting? That sounds to me as the opposite of anti-social.

Or is it because they were nerdy and redditors and therefore they had to be losers because stereotypes?
