Socially awkward anyone?

I hear ya I'm like not introverted ill talk to anyone just sometimes my quirky since of humor makes people think I'm strange :/ it helps to find people like yourself so theres less judgement...if that helps.

 

Yeah i'm pretty introverted. I also have social anxiety (although not as bad as when I was in high school).

 

How weird , I said I was on my desc 'bout me.

Yeah , I do feel so socially awkward a lot. I used to get bullied a lot and it's like , when I try to light up a conversation with someone it just dies quickly. All I can ask is questions and nothing else , but that's mostly due to because I feel really weird about talking about myself like people are judging me thinking "Oh God get over yourself".

If you want to do what you want in college you should just go , I was worrying a lot that I wouldn't know anyone (I didn't except for 1 person but I rarely talked to him). I made a few friends from college , it just takes time.

Cause you don't want to feel like you're bother them , right ?

Good luck if you decide to go to College. ^^

 

Why is it suddenly, well I guess not suddenly (just since all these expensive production wanna be indie films with socially awkward main characters), fashionable to be socially awkward? Did I just answer my own question? I'm not sure.

 

Don't worry about it - if there's one thing that EC has taught me, it's that you shouldn't worry about whether you're socially awkward. The only way to better your social skills is to take the plunge into life and learn the ropes.

I feel the same - I've actually created a similar thread. We all feel the same at some times.

But! I encourage you to take that class. It will better not only your career path, but you can always get some social experience out of it, since it seems like you're seeking that.

Yep...more than just sometimes.

 

Yes! Extremely so!
I'm also bad with giving/receiving compliments and sympathy.
A co-worker's mom died recently and I didn't say anything.
Terrible situations, like your boss's experience, leave me speechless and I want to express my sympathy, but I don't want it to sound forced or clichéd.

I feel you. >_<

 

I feel your pain...
It's very annoying when you see someone you want to talk to butyou can't find a way to even introduce yourself because you are "scared" of hummiliation.What's worse is that even if they come talking to me i freeze and don't know what to say and I'm all like "yeah...sure...uhh..ok...cool..."so conversation dies out pretty quickly...

You just have to trust yourself and don't overthink of stuff...Just don't let fear get in your way.Eventually everything will appear much easier.

 

yes very

 

It's really, really not.

 

Basically [because of the films you mentioned] people think being awkward is just saying stupid stuff sometimes, and not an actual [serious] social disorder.

 

Socially awkward guy here. Even my friends like to poke fun at me for being one (they literally call me out as socially awkward penguin). But knowing the fact that they still like me for who I am (except, I'm not out to them), I feel like I'm getting less social anxiety and having more of the "be spontaneous and turn whatever their reaction into something positive" attitude

 

socially awkward here too. i mean, i'll talk to a few people at school who are my close friends and i trust. but besides that, i barely talk to anybody in life.

 

I am the exact same way! There just seems to be so few people like me out there!

 

I'm suuuper awkward. Usually once I get comfortable I can talk, but even then I say ridiculous things and get hot and nervous.

But sometimes, if I'm in a place with a lot of people (or too many people I don't know) I just clam up and avoid any kind of social interaction. It's bothersome, and for some reason only becomes a problem some of the time.

 

I'm pretty socially awkward. I probably have Asperger's. I'm definitely introverted. When my father divorced my mother, one of his lines during one of their fights was that I am "a social misfit." I heard about that later. It stung, it still stings, but it's probably true.

I'm very conscious of this now. As things stand, what local social network could take a huge hit by the end of the year, between coming out of the closet, and other events. I'm trying to meet new people, and I'm being reminded again and again about my social limitations... A part of me just feels like giving up, and resigning myself to a life totally alone.

 

I have social anxiety. and yeah, it is pretty stressful.

 

I'm awkward, but realistically it's just because of the closet and having to hid everything from everyone.

I'm pretty outgoing but not being honest about myself means that I have to rethink my entire way of behaving in order to keep stuff under wraps; it doesn't make me happy.

So right now I'm socially awkward and believe me, it sucks. Not to undermine anyone but the weight of things that hang over me just completely makes life difficult.

 

I used to be a lot more...but that was because of what convoy said here. I didn't want people to think I was gay or weird. But, now (since my best friends know), all is good.
