How socially awkward are you?

Are you socially awkward?

not at all.but people think i am cause i don't talk at all

Very.

I'm like the definition of socially awkward.

I have minor problems holding onto a conversation with total strangers. That's about it.

Very.

Not really, it's just that people tend to talk about stuff that's so incredibly boring that I have nothing to say to them in response. Or some guy I barely know will start talking to me and I'm like, I barely know you, go away.

On a scale of 1-10 of social awkwardness, I guess I'd stand on 5.

I hate socialising, but I'm not terrible at it. I'd just rather not.

Nope!

But I've come across plenty of people who are though. Some of the socially awkward introverted types can be pretty cute -- but nearly all of the socially awkward extroverted types are beyond annoying from my experience.

I am quite shy, which unfortunately means that I have to rely on others to start conversation, although I can carry a conversation on. Unless it's someone I know, in which case I can be pretty normal about social interaction. So I only come off as socially awkward to people who make no effort to know me, but judge me as "that quiet guy".

You people need to get off OT for a while.

Being able to function socially is a useful skill

I'm a good listener :P

I can be awkward at times, but only in a mild sense.

I used to be socially awkward and had problems talking to people unless it was a job interview or some other important interview, in those I turned into a completely different person.

Then I got a job and found that people really like me and want to hang out with me outside of work, so I sort of came out of my shell only to discover my dislike for approximately 99% of the people I meet.

Nowdays when I'm employed I don't connect with my co-workers, I don't add them on Facebook or give them my number. Keeping it strictly professional works best, when you befriend co-workers they abuse your "friendship" and try to get you to do their job for them.

And honestly, after experiencing the insanity of females when a friend(not even girlfriend, FRIEND! ) got mad at me because I didn't answer a 2 AM text message because I was asleep after a long day of hard labor, and she knew that, I don't ever want a relationship.

That would be a yes. And though I can interact well enough with someone when the need arises, don't expect to see me saying a whole lot unless I'm a little boozed up.

I'm pretty terrible at talking to anyone outside of people I know. So yeah I would say so.

I'm sure it does, but a place like OT would only serve to re-enforce it

I guess a little. I'm pretty shy when I first meet people and sometimes thats taken as b*tchiness.

I'm not, but I sometimes talk fast and people can't understand me, so there are generally a lot of pauses of '...what?'

I'm not.

When it comes to people I know, I'm not at all really, and even then I can talk to randoms!

Very much so, but I'm getting better over time.

Yeah, I have troubling talking sometimes, so that doesn't help it out. Public speaking can piss off, as well.

I'm mildly glossophobic, that 's about it. Otherwise I handle myself quite well in varying social situations.Shottayouth13-

I heard practicing to people you know is good, though. Never tried much but I didn't do great either lol. 50cal sounds good too. And ghokle, if you need somebody to yell your speech at hit me up on skype.MrPraline

I always just winged it with speeches. I agree with the 50 cal option though.
