Author Topic: I'm socially awkward  (Read 2427 times)

ugh I just can't talk to people like other people can. I make is so awkward :\
you guys probably notice it on the forums too as well..
like, in my french class, we have assigned tables, and at the beginning of the semester, this one girl in my table was so nice to me, we were actually like best friends for a while, then after being in the same class for a while, she started to think I was annoying, even though I was being myself for the entire semester already.
today, I was trying my friend's glasses over my own glasses, and shes like "what the forget are you doing, oh my god", and she was serious, and my entire group went silent for a minute.
its not just her, im pretty much awkward with every single person. I have plenty of friends, but I still awkward with them...
it makes me really sad that I am like this.

Leave your friends behind. You dont need them when you have the internet. Become one of us.



Im awkward when it comes to girls ;_;

people skills are something you need to practice and you're not going to get them from just school

start going out more in your free time - doesn't matter where you go or what you do

You're are probably trying too hard. I learned it's best to shut up

People can just have a stick in their ass sometimes.

One piece of advice, I noticed that I felt a lot more confident once I started looking forward as I walked. By that I mean, beforehand I had a bad habit of looking down as I walked, not out of unhappiness- just self-consciousness. Once I forced myself to carry myself differently, I felt a little more confident as well. Also, if someone gets angry at you or hostile or something because of a joke or something unintended, like the glasses, don't get shy or anything. That's when you need to be confident more than ever, just act normally and calmly, and think about how you are acting.  
     Then again, I'm not the most social person either. I still view myself as a little awkward, so all of this could be a bunch of hooey. But it's just how I view things.

Be yourself
If someone doesn't like you that's their problem

Just don't make it so you get fired or arrested or something because you let your angry side out

I'm awkwardly anti-social.

This is very true.  Doing this and looking people in the eyes for a second longer than you normally would makes you appear to them as a strong and dominant individual.  You will feel more confident, and people will give you much more respect.

I go to a school with all guys, and when hallways get crowded most people tend to just push through.  Now I'm not a particularly buff individual but for the most part whenever people see how I walk they tend to avoid hitting me.  It's in their nature to submit to someone who appears dominant.
