Really though I am not a dick on purpose, I am just quiet around people I don't know that well, or if I don't know how to approach them because most things I find interesting, the majority of people would be appalled at.

If I get alone with a person I don't know well, then I will try to talk to them just so shits not awkward as fuck, but I know when to shut up.  When im at work I don't really talk to anyone, my brain is in work mode and I focus on that, the struggle of the adhd man is real.

I don't mind hearing about what interests other people, but I don't like hearing them bitch about the most insignificant shite one could imagine.

Have a good day you socially awkward folks, I am off to work.

People are always talking, very few are listening.
Without you "Awkward" (Reserved.) people, life would suck a whole lot more.

@shroomslip

I think its funny how you claim to be awkward IRL. You're one of the few people on here that I'd actually wanna meet :lol: I guess its easier to type up responses when you time to gather your thoughts and think everything through

I'm awkward as fuck.

Even around my best friends, sometimes I can't say how I feel or what I feel because it is too complex for even myself to put into coherence and to understand myself, let alone explain it to someone else - even if they are a close friend.


So I may come across as if I am constantly depressed or down with people but I am not, most of the time I'm trying to figure out what to say to people, or how to approach them.
Sometimes I manage to fake it but I come out with some sort of morbid nonsense that scares the person off, not like I'm trying to scare them off, I think I just can't help it, my mouth opens and it pours out all the repression of my humaness.

Also I discuss deep matters at the dinner table sort of thing...

I'm mostly in my head, I have a lot of shit going on inside my brain that when I try to translate it into words it sounds like shit, like right now these last few sentences have very little intellectual structure or whatever that means...

I suck at small talk and there are often too many awkward silences between me and people where I say to myself 'you fucking piece of shit, can you not even communicate'.

That's pretty much it. Online I can type up a sentence, think for a few more seconds, and type up some more, go back erase shit I decide I shouldn't say and stuff like that. There's also no awkward silences online. The awkward silences are the majority of what makes me uncomfortable in real life. I always feel like I'm supposed to be talking but I can't really force words out because I have nothing meaningful to talk about. I'm a very dull and boring person to be around in real life.

Awkward silences are only awkward if you make them awkward IMO. People who constantly talk all the time just to fill silences are pretty fucking annoying :shrug:

Yeah I'm pretty socially awkward and quiet. But there are times with the right person I can hold a good conversation. It doesn't even have to necessarily be with them, but if they are in the room and listening I'm much more prone to speak up in a group. 

I may go a little off topic here. But here is a recent story.

For instance, I was overseas this past week the last night there we went to a house party for Halloween.  There was this girl there that I could talk to and enjoyed it alot. I don't know what it was about her but I could talk to her and wanted to.  Unfortunately I didn't control my drinking very well that night and ended up getting sloppy by the end of the night.  So nothing happened. I woke up the next morning and me and my cousin were going to leave, she was awake but I don't even think I said bye. Maybe real quick and we were out the door. Leaving in the morning was a blur. I think I missed a real opportunity here and am sort of upset about it. But oh well she is over 4000miles away now. :shrug:

:shrug: They always feel awkward. Well not all silence is awkward, like me and my wife aren't constantly talking and that's not awkward, we live together and it seems completely normal. It's when people come over to hang out or I go to them to hang out and we sit there silent for like 10 or 15 minutes just existing in close proximity to each other without saying anything, it just feels weird. The only real exception is if we're actually off doing something like fishing or whatever.

I used to be awkward, then I quit doing drugs all the time, and dealt with the causes and conditions behind my compulsive drug use, and now I am not awkward.

I can be super awkward and super confident, depends who I'm around.
Like on halloween I met a couple people and had a good comfortable night.
Depends on the mood too.  Sometimes I'm too disorganized to be comfortable.

I am super charismatic and outgoing and confident and social when the time is right
But I am also intensely private, quiet, introverted and shy a lot of the time.

99% of the time I prefer to be alone with my wife and cat, the only two beings that make me feel even more comfortable then being alone.

I am a hermit 99% of the time and become a dancing grinding maniac once in a blue moon.

This times a million.

If theres a silence just let it be. An exception would be on the phone though fuck I hate talking on the phone. Ever been in a phone conversation where it kinda ends and your waiting on the other person to say something about needing to go and they're doing the same thing then there's like a 5 second pause before someone finally says something? Lol


What's really annoying is when someone says "why don't you talk much?"

Yeah I'm not one for phone convos either. The worst is when you accidentally cut someone off mid sentence and then you both stop talking and wait for each other to pick up where you left off

I just started to talk to everybody. Its just like anything in life practice makes perfect. I was socially awkward in high school. Then when i got out i basically said fuck this im actually funny as shit and an awesome individual in general. I moved to a new small town and regularly get stopped and they know me by name i feel bad as i can't fucking remember them but I'm always cheerful. Whatsup buddy how ya been?

Plus the majority of my work experience is in customer service im really good at talking pretty girls out of there.money, restaurant work is awesome.
