Can You Tell I'm Awkward???

Adulting you say. Pfffft. Easy. *still puts items into parents trolley to avoid talking to a person at the checkout*

When people talk about their hearts skipping a beat I don’t think of love, I think of the moment I almost hit the concrete with my face, or the moment I almost fall down the stairs, or the moment the teacher calls my name to give a solo presentation.

When you go up or down the stairs and your brain is adamant there is another step but there isn’t so you end up stomping your foot into air expecting to land on a step but instead you’re greeted by the floor

Online person: Hey

Me: Hey

Real life person: Hi

Me: .....

Me: .... *takes breath*

Me: *says hi but nothing comes out*

Things about me that shouldn’t be controversial:

My gender

My sexuality/romantic orientation

Things about me that should be controversial:

The fact that I like pineapple on pizza

Even something as simple as reacting differently to a post makes me feel like I'm having a heart attack

Can't say no

Feeling so awkward in a social situation that when you really want to say no you still end up saying yes.

Okay edit, the only exception is when you really want to say yes because then you end up saying no

Stressful things awkward people will understand

Saying something embarrassing and never being able to forget it

Getting a random phone call before you have had time to mentally prepare yourself

Being at a social event but the only person you know has gone off to socialise

Not wanting to move your chair closer to the desk in an exam hall because it will be really loud and disturb others

Finally, something everybody, not just awkward people, will find stressful is trying to take a screenshot but constantly locking your phone instead

Small talk

I can't small talk. I'm simply useless at it. Regardless of whether it's initiation or response I cannot do it. I feel like I need to talk about something deep like the origins of the universe, or politics, or something so random and bizarre that it will have my undivided attention because most of the time I'm so awkward that I don't know what to say, but with these topics there is so much that could be said. Even if it is making up a random story about how the universe began it would be a lot easier to chat about and discuss than "What do you think of the weather today".

"Too young"

I hate it when people say "you're too young". What does that even mean? We're living in a world where lives are lost daily whether it's due to an accident, a disease, or someone taking away a life too soon. Shit happens; Life happens, and the only thing we know for certain is that it has to come to an end. So be impulsive and live in the moment. Never be made to feel as though you are "too young".

My Sister

my sister was talking about life problems and tripped over this hole so we both kinda looked at each other and said “that was deep” and I can honestly say I’ve never been prouder to call her my sister.

Could you repeat that?

Not hearing what someone says but being too awkward to ask them to repeat it so you do a fake laugh and edge away slowly.
