im super socially awkward and quiet, its caused me to not have a solid relationship in years :sad: at least i have a few friends that are the same way and a couple that are really outgoing so we can actually go out and do stuff without just sitting there all night doing nothing.

I've done a bad thing.

The avatar still fucks with me every time I scroll passed it. Out of the corner of your eye it just looks weird and unnatural. I figured I'd get used to it like all other avatars but for some reason, I haven't. It keeps drawing my focus. :lol:

The simplest way to be less socially awkward is stop being so wrapped up in yourself. Self-centeredness manifests in a lot of ways, and two primary ways that self-centeredness causes social awkwardness are (1) constantly wondering what other people are thinking about YOU, and (2) thinking about what YOU can contribute to the conversation. Start asking questions about other people or the ideas they discuss. People really respond to that a lot. You don't have to impress anyone. The internet is a great place to work out your own ideas. Once you know someone better, or if someone asks you, then answer. But a lot of social awkwardness results from the fact that people start telling other people about [a contrived version of] themselves and their ideas, when the listener isn't really interested in hearing about those things. Then the listener is forced to be in a position of "pretending to care" until they can find a way out the conversation. Sometimes people catch onto the fact that people only pretend to care to listen to them so consistently that they just decide, "You know what, I am just going to not talk anymore." But that just isolates you. Social isolation is an emotionally miserable place to be, and some instances of drug abuse (including alcoholism) are attempts to cope with social isolation.

Reminds me when Dave Chappell said he tripped on mushrooms for the first time he was getting his hair cut and his barber turned into a mothafucker with a penis on his head.

Anyway, awkward people are overrated, they should be fucking gassed

I am very socially awkward. I never really built/learned social interaction when I was in school
I suck with small talk and cannot carry on a conversation unless we're actually discussing something I know about and have plenty of knowledge on the subject to share.
My co-workers and such assume I'm an asshole and am always pissed off.
I am an asshole, but only when I want to be and it's more or less just my sense of humor.
I'm almost never pissed off when someone assumes I am.

These days I'm basically a hermit. I don't really put myself out there much to go do things.
I don't really mind the life I have (at least in that regard).
I'm very comfortable isolating myself from the rest of the world and I don't really wish I was more outgoing.

My dream life is to buy a house on a lot of land out in the middle of nowhere.




i can relate to this enough that i dont even need to make my own post. this edited quote fits me to a T

I dunno, I'd argue that it's dependent on the person for at least one aspect. That isolation is emotionally miserable. I am an alcoholic but I wasn't always one. Even before drug addiction and stuff, I was still perfectly content to just be alone for the most part. All I really needed/wanted was someone to be romantically involved with and the rest didn't bother me.

I know I'm definitely not the average "normal" person though.

But see, that romance was still about changing the way you feel. When you say you are not the average/normal person, I think I know what you mean. The cause/condition is this state of "not feeling okay as you are"/"wanting to change the way you feel". It is not feeling comfortable in one's own skin. The paradox of this condition is that it inwardly manifests as insecurity, and outwardly manifests as egoism (the combination of which result in our social dysfunctions). Young/New romances are exciting, thrilling, and common ways of changing the way we feel. When someone makes us feel wanted, we feel temporarily okay with ourselves, and our insecurity subsides, and our egoism diminishes. At a certain point in some peoples' lives, they discover that drugs/alcohol are a much faster, available, ready, and consistent means of changing the way they feel. At first, the drug experiences are thrilling and exciting, just like new romances. But this doesn't last. As time goes on, and our drug/alcohol use escalates, we are left feeling more and more isolated, and we become more and more emotionally broken. What are we to do?

I read an article that they shouldn't call it addiction they should call it bonding. Which i get i moved from my home 2 years ago and im an alcoholic now. I find when i have someone to talk too i.don't. Even feel like drinking, people will bond to anything be it gambling, drugs, etc

What you need to know is, you are not alone. There are tens if not hundreds of millions of out there who feel just the same way you do, and there are several million who have found a way out. There is hope.

Quote:

When at the end of the road we find that we can no longer function as a human being, either with or without drugs, we all face the same dilemma. What is there left to do? There seems to be this alternative: either go on as best we can to the bitter ends-jails, institutions, or death-or find a new way to live. In years gone by, very few addicts ever had this last choice. Those who are addicted today are more fortunate. For the first time in history, a simple way has been proving itself in the lives of many addicts. It is available to us all. This is a simple spiritual-not religious-program, known as Narcotics Anonymous.
