Bad social experiences

[anon68003072]

This is a thread to talk about experiences in real life when our social awkwardness has completely taken over and made a social situation as awkward as possible.

Here’s some of mine:

• I zone out when other people are talking, I ended up staring at a couple who were kissing, the guy looked at me then carried on kissing the girl anyway

• My brother was once coughing dramatically so instead of saying the sibling “die quietly” I said “die slowly” I regret that one

So yeah let’s share our social blunders and if you want to share the kind of social situation you hate the most then please do!

Any phone call

[anon68003072]

Phone calls are evil

[Duckling]

I have a video call tomorrow, I don’t know if I’ll survive it

[anon68003072]

I hate video calls so much because my mouth looks weird when I talk then I just sit there staring at it…

…also I’d definitely zone out I can’t concentrate on video calls

[Duckling]

Same, I end up looking at myself and ignoring everything the other person says

is this what people see when they talk to me

[Duckling]

I feel sorry if this is what people see when they talk to me

You are a rad person, you don’t have to worry about that

[anon68003072]

Thank you

But despite any kind of radness I’m always worried about how I’m being percieved

[anon68003072]

With every finger gun I do for my greatings I die a bit more inside

Why do you still do it then?

[anon68003072]

@Duckling

Why do you still do it then?

It’s a reflex

Same as calling everything rad, it just comes out

[Duckling]

How about instead of doing a finger gun, you say quack to greet people?

[anon68003072]

I already meow

Sometimes I joke around and people can’t tell if I’m joking because of the fact that I don’t show emotion. Several people have told me I don’t. That’s why I’m just trying to stop making jokes in general. I always end up sounding mean, and most of the time that’s not my intention.

There was this one time when I tried to make a joke with some people in a youth group I belonged to, but they didn’t get it. They never got my jokes.

I don’t know why, but I have a yawning problem. I won’t be tired or anything, but I’ll just yawn for no reason, and people always think I’m bored or tired during conversations
