How to come off as not awkward?
 

Yeah I know none of you really like me too much so this might be a waste of my time. I dunno.
Okay well just telling it straight, I'm a loser.. obviously.. and haven't really made any friends, lately. Whenever I have tried to make some, I normally get the response 'You're being awkward' as a reason for them not wanting to talk to me. This makes no sense to me because I thought I was a relatively friendly person? Maybe I just don't know how to approach people to even say hello, but at least I try and I would think that should count for something. I would hope?

Whatever, basically, for anyone who's been in this situation before, what are you supposed to do?

Blind leading the blind. As if anyone who posts here is not awkward irl.

Hi! I would like to help. Please ask me anything!

Become a winner!
Then you'll get lots of friends.

the awkward are the true winners.

they develop their coping skills early

pity the ones who were never awkward growing up who were never ostracized, thiose fucking losers will look back at high school as the single best times of their lives, pathetic fucks, and the 50-70 years after hiogh schopol will be a drudgery of bore and stupidity.

the awkward usually have very interesting lives after high school

awkward is the new win.

of course, look at Lady gaga on the cover of rolling stone


that shit is like Missing Persons for the new millenium
and needless to say, i'd hit it, just for the freak freak

^^^ is Rolling Stone magazine still relevant? actually, come to think of it, have they ever been?


I have found that when approaching people, it's best to look them in the eye before you start punching.

If they don't look away (or punch back), then you have made a friend for life.

Nothing is more awkward than a failed suicide. Make sure you do the job, because you don't want the awkward obligated sympathy you get if you botch it. AWKWARD!

It is relevant to irrelevancy!

massive hard fake tits on an anorexic frame is awkward

is that tori spelling?

In all seriousness, to come off as not awkward, you need to make sure that when you are giving your attention to a person, don't seem desperate. Don't give the impression that you need them to like you. Confidence is the combatant of awkwardness.

apparently irl, I have two voices. (so boyshape said)

I have nervous/fake happy retail voice, and my real voice.

nervous voice is like, an octave higher.

Maybe you should get a second voice to use with yr awkwardness. This may help. Though Im not sure how.

the essence of beauty.

i don't even know what to type in response to the image of tori spelling. i'm kind of terrified, yet i can't look away

and it looks like her son is dead, laying next to her like a My Buddy doll

looks like he put drano in his juice bottle once he realized he was stuck with her as a primary caregiver

it is clearly a toy/puppet. look where her hand is.

By being more awkward towards someone who thinks you're awkward.

thanks!!

can't help ya, man. i'm awkward as ... an awkward thing.


but i generally get away with it through being ~quirky or ~cute whatthefuckever. ick.

Do your quirky bit.

i'm the same, i have my canadian voice, and my ugly foreign guy who listens to rap voice

I'm far less awkward now than I have been four or five years ago.

i don't think i'm quirky though? i just get accused of it.

By who?

i really don't like quirky much, horrible adjective. if somebody called me that i'd be offended

people i hang out with. pro'lly because my best friend often describes me like that. eh.


yeah, i don't care for it much, either. i'm not sure if it's like, entailing "good weird" or "bad weird."

What do they say is quirky about you? You know, body movement, things you say etc.

i used to look like what you get when you look for 'awkward' in the dictionary.

there is only weird and the varying degrees thereof.

for further reference:

[odd-->strange>-->weird-->bizarre-->disturbing]

as you can see, it's a balancing act.

it's just such an ugly sounding word....quirky....that it must be insulting

it sounds like some shitty dish of leftovers no one wants to eat. we'll be back from aunt janine's by thursday, kids; for dinner, there's some quirky in the blue tupperware.

Quirky sounds more like stuff that you would find clogging up some pipes in your crawlspace when you decide to repair the plumbing in your house.

quirky is like one degree below eccentric

Quirky is the young eccentric. When you are young, you are quirky. As you get older, you transistion into eccentric.

edited for uneccesary douchebaggery on my part.

i think their definition of quirky is closer to "generic indiefuck" than anything else. i don't think actual quirkiness really applies with me.

.... feels like i'm derailing the thread. awkward!
