    I felt socially awkward today. The sun was also in my eyes. I blamed the sun on my awkwardness.

    Good Excuse.
    I've given up trying to excuse my social awkwardness, it's a fundamental part of my being. At least it's... endearing....?

    I have always been socially awkward. I blame ADHD. I don't seem to have the social instincts that everyone else has. It can be lonely and disheartening when people avoid me because I am too strange, but I have learned to live with it.

    Too bad I don't like being endearing. That usually leads to people seeing me as a cute little puppy instead of a real person.

    I don't try to excuse it, I just deal with it and go with the flow

    While I acknowledge my social awkwardness, I don't see why I need to come up with excuses for being socially awkward. I see it as a part of me so if I do happen to find excuses for being awkward, it's undermining oneself by effectively excusing one's existence. I may find myself saying, "I hope I'm not appearing to boring" but I never come up with excuses for it.

    I don't see my social awkwardness as a part of me. I see it as a problem I'm trying to fix.

    Same here, but it's looking more like it's a part of me.

    That's too bad. I'm still trying to change it. I hate being awkward. I'm also trying to get better at fashion, hair and clothing. If I get better at that stuff I bet people will notice my put-togetherness more than any social awkwardness.

    The people that love my type of crazy tend to dehumanize me.
