Let's talk about awkward people
    #22465084 - 11/02/15 12:28 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

i'm super socially awkward tbh and it makes me shy and sad

but then i think it's kind of funny now

lol im just going to b awkward as fuck and laugh about it

Anyway what do you think about awkward people. Is it better to be awkward and outgoing, or to be less awkward but more withdrawn?

Also are you awkward too? How do you cope?

It has been reported that some victims of torture, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not wake up. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren’t being tortured. The only way that they realized they needed to wake up was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to wake up. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and please wake up.

I can tolerate awkward people more than I can tolerate lazy people who don't capitalise or use punctuation, and those who type "b" because finding the letter "e" on a keyboard is just too darn hard.

I'm a level of socially awkward where I'm included in a conversation, put NOTHING into the Convo and later say something witty and chuckle to myself... Sometimes I'm screaming in my head CONTRIBUTE YOU FUCKER and just nod and say yeah.

I am very socially awkward. I never really built/learned social interaction when I was in school, and eventually I got home schooled and it only made things worse. 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. Pretty much every single time I go to my wife's job, as soon as I leave, she gets asked what's wrong with me and why I look so angry.

These days I'm basically a hermit. I don't really put myself out there much to go do things. I really only ever leave the house when I'm working, taking food to my wife or going shopping. If I'm not doing one of those things, there's probably about a 98% chance I'm sitting at home. 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.

Definitely do.

I'm a quiet, reserved person who doesn't like making small talk (because I suck at it) and rarely smile or laugh. I don't wear my emotions on my sleeve like most people seem to. You'll really only know my true current emotional status if I choose to show it to you.

Work in fastfood, especially front register. You get forced to talk to people all day and ull outgrow being awkward. I used to be quiet and stuff at work but it doesnt last because people thrive on talking to you.

Doesn't help. I worked retail, first as a cashier, then got moved up to management which means the interaction was far more stressful more times than not. I'm not ringing people up, I'm trying to calm them down when they flipped their shit and demanded to talk to a manger. A lot of times it is very hard to maintain your cool. When someone's screaming at you and telling you how they are above over the stupidest shit (like a 50 cent coupon not working) you want to lash out and tell them to fuck off. EDITED to add: We have ways of fixing those problems, if a coupon isn't working right, it's a very simple matter to fix. Have no problem even doing it. I even explain to them the issue and what I'm going to do to resolve it. All of that would take about a minute tops. Instead they start totally uncalled for rants that can last up to 10 minutes. People are just shitty.

My general appearance did not help things. It was far harder for me to diffuse situations than the other managers.

But yeah, forcing myself into positions where I have to interact with a bunch of people daily, does not change a single thing, not for the better anyways. I was always kind of an asshole and hated people in general. After my time in retail, those factors grew exponentially. Had already seen how shitty people can be at times before retail. Afterwards you come to see how vastly you underestimated how many shitty people there are in the world. I could probably spend an entire day writing about all the bullshit I endured in that job, and I'd probably be doing good to remember half of it.

People suck.

you pretty much described me exactly

I've pretty much given up on people though. I'll talk to them and answer questions but I'm not going to start or hold a conversation with them or have any interest in it. Everyone can fuck off. And yeah, everyone thinks I'm always angry. I don't give a shit anymore though.

Yep that's me. I don't initiate conversations unless it's to ask a question. Short of some subject being brought up that I am passionate about and have knowledge on, I will use the minimal words nessecary to questions or statements other people make to me. I suppose at some point in my life I cared that I never really got much socially based interaction (like "shooting the shit") but I've grown so accustomed to it now, that I'd prefer to minimize it as best as I can. I just really have no interest in it. I literally view it as a waste of time.

I only have a handful of people I interact with on any (even loosely) basis. Even with those people there is a lot of awkward silence, but I can at least bullshit with them some. Everyone else is getting the absolute bare minimum interaction that is required.

3 things I think will make people less socially awkward:

Asking questions and answering questions, from the mundane to the fantastical. However not passing the mic after a while is also a form of awkwardness. Talking too much is just as awkward as not talking at all.

Dungeons and Dragons: Playing this over a few years will help you interact, act, group problem solve, and have even more to talk about as it teaches you how to think in statistics and bell cuves

Acting and improv: This will help you lubing up situations and being a centerpiece to a group in public if the group needs one. Also, it teaches you how to bow out when your time is up, similar to not holding the mic for so long.

Although I don't have too much evidence for this one, ATM, I think video chat rooms are also really good for practice interacting.

These are all tips from someone who used to be socially awkward, but now I can turn on rockstar mode if I need to.

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.

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

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'.

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



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 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?"

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.

I've done a bad thing.

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.

I'm almost never pissed off when someone assumes I am.

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 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 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.

i just dont talk to anyone that i don't have to and mind my own business.
