I Am Socially Awkward Stories of Experiences

Several years ago I attended some evening classes. The class was fairly small, with about a dozen people enrolled. I have always been a reasonably popular person, as I am fairly good looking, sporty and quick witted. I soon socialized...

I would love to get out and meet new people. To get out and sovialize with people my own age but I never know what to say or what to do or if id say the wrong thing.

I am very socially awkward, and shy. I always have been, though, so it doesn't really surprise me. I feel like I am smart, but not socially. Sometimes, things don't come out the right way, and I sound silly or stupid. I also have social...

It has been a long time coming, today I suddenly realised I am socially awkward. 14 years went by before I really looked at the facts and accepted that I am socially awkward.

I laugh at things people don't find funny. I am really good...

I get nervous in crowds , if you ask me to talk to a large number of people , I'll almost faint.I'll forget the speech I prepared , the answers I learnt,the music I was supposed to sing, the stuff we were talking about.

I often think about why some people have no problem chatting up a stranger on the street/bar/store/any place etc, and others don't know how to maintain a conversation for 2 minutes with a colleague...Was talking to my mom today, telling...

naturally im quiet. its hard for me to have conversations. it is the same topics like how you doing and anything new or what you did the day before. sometimes i might stare at someone without realizing it and i would feel bad for it or...

Does anyone else hate standing around waiting for people? I find it intensely uncomfortable and don't know what to do with myself, it looks so obvious playing with my mobile phone, sometimes I feel like saying ' Yeah I'm alone, not a...

I am tired of being this way. When I laugh, people think I am laughing "at" them and not "with" them. When I talk, I use my hands so people think I fingerpoint. When i get excited my voice raises so people think I am yelling at them...

The evening floated past without me doing many of my allocated tasks. I noodled and fiddled, listened to tunes; I tried to decide if I wanted to go out and get booze, but decided against it.  It's just habit.  The result of five...

I am the quiet kid in class who only says things when people asks me something.

Recently I've been really socially awkward. I have a hard time talking to people. It's like my brain can't think. I have a hard time explaining things and its like my brain shuts down when I'm getting ready to have a conversation. It's...

I'm guilty of injecting a healthy dose of crutch words to my everyday speech in a flailing attempt to make myself sound at-ease. Of course, using these words gives the opposite effect.

Two of the words I use abundantly to supplement...

It's so odd... I've always been a shy individual since I've been a kid but a few years back, out of the blue I became so socially awkward and frankly, it pisses me off sometimes! When I was like 15 I had an anxiety attack in public...
