I knew 1 of them from 12 years of school together. I walked right up to him, and said, "How did you do?" The group got quiet. He "said, well we had fun!" I smiled and said "Ha ha, yeah, I won't be joining the tour anytime soon. But I only lost 3 balls, so that is a good day!" The group started slowly talking, quieter this time. The guy I knew laughed, but didn't say anything else. He started paying attention to the group, rejoining their conversation. Didn't introduce me to anyone. I stood there for like 20 seconds, feeling like an idiot, then I said to that guy, "See ya' later!". He said "OK, see ya' Mark!" We were both all smiles the whole time. But I got into my car and was thinking, dang, what the hell is wrong with me?

You don't mention anything about people's height in this - so perhaps you are unaware of giving off some sort of vibe? Some people can just seem a little 'off' tho there's no good reason for it. Am sure you've experienced it yourself about others and although you can't put your finger on it, you want to keep a distance? Or is there any chance that someone has said something bad about you? It's just these things or something else that make more sense to me than it being about height.
I am not trying to make you feel dreadful, it's just if there is something that perhaps can be improved then perhaps it's better to try, rather than blame everything on your height. And although you are right about people being attracted to like, and we don't always understand difference or it makes us nervous, I really do not think that height would be one of those things to make people unsettled. It's normally a race or culture thing I find - sadly I may add.
