OMG: When people don't like you because they think you are stuck-up, but you just act that way because you're so socially awkward you honestly just don't know how to act/what to say.
My mother really annoys me in this area as I'm naturally pretty quiet and shy, and she goes on and on about how people must think I'm a bitch or a snob because I don't socialize as much as she'd like.
Haha that's so me. If you're texting me I'm your hilarious best friend, if you're talking to me in person I'm that snob who just barely acknowledges what you say. I am just really shy. That's it
My resting bitch face does this, and my overly quiet personality. I'm really a nice person if people talk to me. I'm just too socially awkward to speak up.
I think the biggest barrier for me is sustaining a conversation with people I don't know. I'll say hi and then take a painfully long minute searching for something to say! I think I perpetuate that nerdy, socially awkward guy stereotype LOOL. It's just that I don't really care for small talk. But people who know me can talk with me endlessly!
@7a I'm so much the same. I can do small talk for a little bit, but it gets boring really quickly and I feel like the other person just doesn't care at all. But talk to me about something like Doctor Who or hockey or something that really has any meaning at all and you can't shut me up.
omg me 500% we should be friends
ReplyDeletealso i have a resting bitch face so doesn't help

ReplyDeleteYou can avoid this by smiling every so often.
ReplyDeleteOP again. I smile a lot. Doesn't help too much with the social awkwardness.
DeleteI agree with 4a. However, the smiling definitely doesnt help with the attractiveness.
