Some people are like that, and not everyone will like you. I can't fix it, you can't fix it. We were previously on a ship with no way off with the same people, his behavior between here and there in this respect hasn't changed. He'll ignore you if you let him though, Malcolm.
I'm not saying that it's entirely right, but I'm not saying he's entirely in the wrong either for wanting to not interact with you.
But the sharpness comes from prodding, and if you don't prod he's not going to come looking for you to yell at. He set a boundary, you continually stepped over it by trying to interact when him when he didn't want you to. Being bad at social cues is one thing, but when someone tells you in plain english to leave them alone multiple times, you can't blame it on that any more. You messaged him, that isn't randomly showing up in the same place, that's you consciously reaching out to him when he asked you not to.
