You're failing to see social activity for what is it, people should actually be good to each other, you've probably broken rapport with them in an untactful way and maybe that's what they have against you, maybe there was no reason to break rapport with them other than the fact that you saw Mystery do it.
I hope that makes sense and take no offense but we've all at some point suffered the fact that certain PUA traits can actually turn us into a bit of a social outcast, you could also pay attention to see if they are the only 2 people in your daily life who treat you kind of weird.
Best Luck!
