How to come off as not awkward?

summer · 05.27.2009, 09:30 AM

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.

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

Rob Instigator · 05.27.2009, 10:04 AM

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

floatingslowly · 05.27.2009, 10:04 AM

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!

Rob Instigator · 05.27.2009, 10:09 AM

It is relevant to irrelevancy!

Rob Instigator · 05.27.2009, 10:10 AM

massive hard fake tits on an anorexic frame is awkward

phoenix · 05.27.2009, 10:11 AM

is that tori spelling?

afterthefact · 05.27.2009, 10:11 AM

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.

phoenix · 05.27.2009, 10:14 AM

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.

Rob Instigator · 05.27.2009, 11:06 AM

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

davenotdead · 05.27.2009, 11:08 AM
