Are you socially awkward?

Not anymore.

I feel the same way a lot of the time TC but honestly, it's not something I care much about anymore. I used to be obsessed with the fact I was socially ****ed but then realized it's when you stop caring about it and just accepting yourself when the problems will start to go away. I hate saying it to people, mostly because when somebody said it to me I'd respond with "you don't know what it's like, I can't do that" but it really is all in your head and it's not something you have to fight or change it's just a matter of accepting yourself and being who you are, despite what some people might think it's normal to have these feelings.

Let loose, stop caring, accept yourself for who you are, say what comes to your mind don't proccess it and try and make it sound appealing to other people. I find social awkardness usually comes from lack of confidence due to a low self esteem, or lack of a social circle so you feel the need to branch out but don't know how to go about it and it's irritating seeing everybody around you do so well but feeling like anytime you try to branch out you fail. You just got to stop caring what other people think and say what's on your mind, not what you think other people want to hear.

Not really, I just don't like a lot of people. I'm not good at talking to girls though, so bad at small chat to start conversations.

No. I make others feel awkward. I am brutally outgoing and have absolutely no social inhibitions. It's habitual. My idea of a good first impression is to make THAT person as uncomfortable as possible to prepare them for any future interaction they may have with me.

I lack that "this might be offensive, don't do/say it" mechanism that most normal people have. The only place i make myself keep it in check is at work and that's only so i don't get fired.

I used to be, but now I am not anymore.

I'm trying too, I hope I could get rid of my social awkwardness by graduation, time's ticking real fast as life goes on, and only 1.5 year left.

At least I don't act as bad as I use to around girls anymore when I started to become less shy in grade eight.

I think of what I should talk about before I talk to some of friends which are girls.It has helped me a lot in the past year.

when in doubt, whip it out

Yes, I am incredibly awkward in social situations, no matter if I'm meeting someone for the first time, or talking to an uncle I've known since I was born. It is like my thoughts get scrambled when I attempt to put them into words, resulting in a mess of sounds and signs that make no sense. I hate myself for it.

extremely. although i think a lot of it comes from my autism.

Yes is that good enough?

im preety shy around people i dont know but i can adapt to the situation and make friends

I used to be scoial and outgoing then friends stabbed me in the back, so now I'm friends with geeks so only way forme to be my old self is go at it alone.

Hmm... I think that's me as well, my primary school friend who went to the same high school with me have drifted into the rebellious route, leaving me alone, there's still one old friend who sticked with me and joined the geek group.

LOL

At the guy who advised 3 or 4 different types of pills for the kid to take. c lassic example of the warped society who is in a war on drugs but is addicted to pills

I'd be happy if I'm just socially awkward, the truth is I have social phobia.:cry:

Not at all. I love being in places where I know nobody, and its totally new. I have no problem speaking in front of people, or interacting with groups.

I say this to everyone, If I can sing in front of people, (im a musician) then you can talk in front of people.

Haha, if the everyone in the forum is social and outgoing, that stereotype won't exist.

I used to be.

Then I just learned to get along with people. It wasn't easy, but now I really just don't give a $)#% what people think too.

Nope. Not at all. LJS9502_basic

Same here. You either learn how to start a conversation or how to hold up your end of it.;)
