I'll get straight to it. I am obnoxiously awkward socially. I just don't know what to say or how to react sometimes so I gave up even trying years ago.
Case in point: Guy: Sometimes you don't know what's standing right in front of you. Me: Oh man. Do they think that it's an ophthalmic problem? Or do you need glasses or something? Hmm. Well of course he meant me, I'm just a moron. Often I speak first, think later. I've been fortunate enough to encounter some individuals who find this trait endearing. I, however, find it annoying. Anyone else completely blunderous this way? I wonder what makes people do that. I don't think there's a deep neurological reason or anything and it certainly isn't anything serious. I just wonder how and why some people are able to just let their words flow with such ease and grace while others (such as myself) stumble on nearly every syllable. |

I don't have any trouble talking to anyone. At first, I'm a bit shy and reserved, but after getting comfortable with the situation and learning my boundaries, things start to flow naturally. I don't like to think about what I'm going to say because at the time, it was exactly how I felt, so why hold back?
There are times when I say stupid stuff, and it usually ends up getting me in trouble, but I just roll with the punches. Whatever happens, happens. You know? |

Haha, sometimes I'm totally tongue-tied, but usually I'm okay.

You know what I totally can't do? Look some people straight in the eye. I all of a sudden get all sensitive to light and I have to look down and my eyes get all prickly. It has nothing to do with how good-looking [or not good-looking] they are, I just....have trouble with that.
OH, and another example of awkwardness: all too often, I'm not wearing my glasses, and someone is talking to the person behind me, but thank you blurry eyes, I think they're staring straight at me. -.- |

I normally don't have trouble speaking, but I do have my moments when I blurt out really stupid things.

^ Same here, even worse when I'm distracted. If someone's talking to me and I'm distracted with something else, I'll give the stupidest/randomest/nothing-to-do-with-the-present-topic answer
