Are you awkward?

[KaizokuouHasu]

Yes, many times. Every time I die a little on the inside.

The slightly mind-boggling thing is that the people who call me awkward are the ones that I find to be awkward in turn. Strange cycle, isn't it?

 

[Kryzantine]

I'm not usually awkward, if only because I haven't really seen anyone interesting enough to make me want to approach them. That, and if I am socially awkward, I'm interesting enough to make up for it.

 

[SilentCom]

I don't remember anyone calling me awkward but generally people seem to avoid me and give me strange looks as if to say I am awkward.

My ex-boyfriend once told me I have social skills to rival Spock's. If that's not awkward, I don't know what is.

...I love Spock though, so it's ok.

 

[lettucethesallad]

Sigh. Yes. Yesterday, I was trying to hit on one of my classmates...
It was horrid.

Will give more details, if you want.

OK, seriously curious now.

 

[Akytalusia]

very.

>.> *looks at mods* .... WHAT!? leave me alone!

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

Probably a lot of people here are socially akward, due to the low tolerance for gamers and comic book/science fiction fans in society. I, for one, have learned that walking up to someone and pressing the 'A' button is not a good way to start a conversation.

 

[Rooster893]

Yes I have and the situation you described could fit me perfect. there is no real translation of the word "Awkward" in my language so no I haven't been called awkward yet.
This has happend to me very often:
your with some friends.
A friend tells you a dirty joke, you laugh about it and nobody else bothered with it.
you counter the joke with another dirty joke.
and suddenly everyone is silent and gives you weird looks.

I can't stand that, it happens to me all the time!

 

[AngryNerd]

I'm socially awkward. I have trouble walking up to people and starting conversations.

 

[Jakub324]

Not really, but only because I tend to get a measure of someone before I talk to them.

 

[martin's a madman]

I'm great in front of crowds. But when actually face to face with someone I can get shy.

 

[HardkorSB]

You ever been told or said you were awkward? I don't mean obvious things like thrusting your pelvis at the person you are speaking to directly but in general have you talked to someone and then they said you were awkward.

I got told I was awkward the other day when I was queueing for BBQ food and just being friendly I asked a girl (or cow even) who I had known already, where she got the dress from and she just said I was awkward and I argued with her for a while.

When most people say "You're awkward", what they're really saying is "You're not like me".

 

[Flutterguy]

I am akward around the police, I was once asked "what is your Birthday" I responded "thank you", it was my birthday ☺.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I don't think anyone's actually told me that to my face, but I know for a fact that I am socially awkward.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I'm very socially awkward.

Trying to start conversations with people is just gonna end in disaster for me, unless of course they wanted to have a conversation that's gonna end up either weird or awkward. In that case, fission mucking accomplished!

 

[Sacman]

Yes... very much so...

 

[Nenad]

In big social groups yes, in small no.

 

[William MacKay]

i can talk to about 3 people at once, about 6 if im friends with them all, so i know im awkward. but basically, my friend group is the awkward people. most of them are friends from at least two years ago, and the only reason i hang out with them is because i was in the maths class of one last year.
but with my friends, groin thrusting is pretty normal.
