Don't feel badly.

I, too, was the kid whom the two team captains at school would fight over as to who would have to have me on their team.

Every gym teacher I ever had would look at the fighting kids, break up the fight, and scream at me that "It's all YOUR fault!" that the kids fought.

I am not responsible for the actions of others, but people do not like to take responsibilty for their actions.

I used to ask EVERY gym teacher at the start of every school year if I could just sit it out when the kids chose teams for a game of kickball/baseball/dodgeball/whatever, but I was given the old " EVERYONE must play." dogma.

The kids on my team would yell at me and punch me whenever I would miss the ball or strike out; Gym teacher would just stand there and laugh, but if I fought back, I was the bad guy, and I got punished.

This left me with a firm hatred for all sports for life.

SUPER - (((ULTRA-HUGS!!!))) to you across the Atlantic!
