How to come off as not awkward? - Page 3

Putting emphasis on your 'quirkiness' makes you more ordinary than everyone, if not desperate for attention. You'd think that walls would be grabbing you by the shoulder and have a word, but hey, obviously they need to start talking louder.

edit: I'm reading your post now. And it's a general observation, anyway.

afterthefact · 05.27.2009, 04:03 PM

He always feels awkward. It's the reason he needs to make passive agressive comments all of the time; it's his security blanket, innit?

automatic bzooty · 05.27.2009, 04:11 PM

nooooooo, i'm too awkward for awkward retaliation!

and yeah, i was joking. fuckin' internet forums and their lack of vocal inflection.

05.27.2009, 04:12 PM

Why would you want to make me feel awkward? I'm lovely.

afterthefact · 05.27.2009, 04:13 PM

I'd say you were more "quirky."

You know, before you assume people are being awkward just because they are curious and ask you a few questions, you ought to really become less defensive.

And chill out.

afterthefact · 05.27.2009, 04:16 PM

Oh, I'm just DROWNING in the sarcasm!!
