Socially Awkward: A Life Story
Now, before y'all are like "you're not socially awkward!" just listen a minute ok? The urban dictionary for socially awkward is the following:
an individual excessively afraid of social interaction due to some form of peer rejection or personal choice. Presenting a form or different forms of uncomfortability when around others.
This means that you are slightly afraid of being social because of rejection. My definition is this:
Adj. when someone is uncomfortable in social situations and doesn't have a very good sense of how to talk to other people.
That is me. Right in that last sentence: "doesn't have a very good sense of how to talk other people." Now, this means that I have no idea what to say to comfort someone and I often say things that make the situation worse, because I don't know how you're feeling.
Let's talk about that point for a second. 80% of the time, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON. I'm very bad at reading emotions when it isn't obvious. This makes me unsure of what to say, because I can't pick out what emotion you're feeling, so I often say something that makes you angry, or it convinces you that I'm the dumbest person on the planet. Because I don't know! If I could have better people reading skills, then I would be WAY farther along in life with MANY more friends. I guess I'm not ever going to be a psychologist or social worker!
That's it for today, folks. This book is probably going to be an explanation/rant book from now on. Just to inform you.
