Are you awkward?

[Scarim Coral]

Yeah I awkward around groups of people and sometime my relatives (when we are in a resturant). They have conversation and I just sit there sometime if they are talking about stuff I don't have interests in. I pretty much also can't stand large party as well.

Slightly, but at the same time I can also be charming if I choose to be, but unless it is with my girlfriend or people need my to be persuasive then I generally would rather not try. The only person who has said I was awkward was a complete idiot, my friend and I then proceeded to cut him apart with wit in front of a few people from my chess club, he looked stupid and we looked like silver-tongued sharp-witted devils, and only because he was being an ass...

But OT: slightly, I guess, but never been a problem.

I'm incredibly awkward. I just plain don't understand human interaction. For example, the process of courtship for humanity often involves getting to know each other intimately and in great detail. However, the most popular place to begin this process are clubs that play music at levels making it nigh on impossible to hear each other speak. To me, humanity is a species whose social interactions ring with these contradictions and catch 22s leading me to think this planet is ruled by a species that simply does not know what it wants. Disturbing.

Nothing's really awkward until you say it is. If you act as if everything is normal then the rest of the conversation will seem... normal. Now if someone says "ell this is awkward.", the rest of the conversation will be awkward.

 

[yohlazy]

been told I am wierd by my GF if that counts...

 

[Hal10k]

Yes. Wait, no. Maybe? Can I hear it in the form of a question?

If we are talking about strangers : I'm terrible with making eye-contact and speaking to them. My heart flutters, my gut-clenches, and I get pretty nervous. They always ask if I can speak up for them, even when I thought that was the right volume. I think a lot of people think I'm being rude and ignoring them, but it's just that making eye-contact makes me incredibly uncomfortable. I try, but I'm sure it looks weird from their view. "Um,..thank you!" *eye flick**eye flick**eye flick**eye flick* I'm surprised someone hasn't stabbed me with a butter-knife yet out of frustration. lol Then again, I'm not a very social person, and I don't like being around a lot of people. I like to be at home with the spouse and the dogs. Anyone who comes over without letting me know at least a few hours beforehand,..it just feels like a severe privacy invasion. Like someones entered my cave.


I can talk with my friends about a lot of different subjects and laugh and what-not, especially if I've had a drink beforehand, but making eye-contact is still a bit rough for me; even with them.

I'm not generally seen as awkward, although with the rare people I'm shy around I probably seem awkward. You asking the girl where she got her dress from isn't awkward, don't worry

 

[Creator002]

I've never been called awkward, but I've done some things which could be considered so.

Spoiler: Example 1

Person I'm meeting for the first time: Hello. *offers handshake* I'm Bob.
Me: *accepts shake* Hello, Bob. *walks away*

Spoiler: Example 2

Person at programming class: Hey, what's your jumper say?
Me: Ein Weg, ein Ziel, ein Kollektiv.
Person: Cool. Know what it means?
Me: *nods head*
*Silence*
Person: *makes "so, what does it mean" gesture*
Me: One way, one goal, a collective.
Person: Oh, cool. Rammstein?
Me: Yep. *walks away*

 

[Rylot]

My social skills suck pretty badly, so yeah I'm pretty awkward most of the time.

 

[Blair Bennett]

I'm this awkward. Literally, this is the only thing currently in existence that can articulate more than words how socially uncomfortable I can be. That said, this is only around people I don't know very well, but I'm ok around people I've known for a while. I also feel more obnoxious and loud around other people, and that sort of sucks for all parties involved because it probably only serves to make me more uncomfortable, and therefore, more obnoxious.

 

[ChaoticKraus]

Nah, i was a bit akward when i was in my early teens but i thankfully managed to snap out of it. In fact i'm the one that talks too much, sometimes i feeel irritated because i have to lead a conversation all alone and the other one simply nods and says yes.

 

[JoshGod]

Sigh...

Me: Can i sit here?
Her: I'm not stopping you
Me: Thanks
Silence for like 6 minutes
Me:You want my Chocolate Cookie?
Her: Sure. Thanks.
Silence for like 3 more minutes.
Me: My names Adrian. What's yours?
Her: Are you hitting on me?
Me: You accepting?
*Watch alarm goes off, have to go back to school.*

You accepting? made me laugh so much, and i don't know why, thank you good sir.
OT
I'm fine in small groups, but in large groups I often have nothing to say or cant get a word in i'm silent unless specifically talked to, except when something rediculously stupid has been said.

 

[blaqknoise]

Nope. Can't say I have.

I'm a pretty extroverted guy, so I don't really have trouble around people and can avoid awkwardness.

 

[Erana]

I'm awkward around people who place social what-nots above everything else.
So, a large portion of people my age.

But, say, put me in front of someone mature, intelligent, and comfortable with themselves, and I'm as relaxed as could be.

 

[Rhatar Khurin]

I'm quite awkward in situations where i don't know anyone like someones party that you went with a friend to, but when you get there the only person you know is your friend.. Especially if sober

 

[Dr. wonderful]

As Hell.

Then I mellow out and become "That" Guy. The guy who cracks the joke and get on your nerves.

 

[standokan]

Yes very, but only about half of the time.
