Awkward but not shy?

(Anonymous) 2012-08-23 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Does this even make sense? I'm just really shitty when it comes to social situations. Like every time in the lunch room with the coworkers I'd try to jump in the conversation but I would suddenly forget what to say. I would twist my words and stutter then I feel stupid afterwards which makes me act shy towards them since I feel like they think I'm an idiot or something. People also tell me that I'm super quiet but my friends who know me tell me that I'm a loud bastard who talks too much. I'm not really afraid of talking to people, I'm just afraid of my awkwardness?

So confused, maybe I just have social anxiety.

Sounds like you're shy. Nervous and quiet and not sure what to say around strangers or not-friends? Shy. Shy people can be really loud and talkative around friends and people they are comfortable with. It's not like an all or nothing situation or anything.

If the negative thoughts and paranoia about what they think about you is excessive and harmful, anxiety disorder.

Aww, OP, I kinda get where you're coming from.

I'm awkward in social situations... but if you get me with the right people, I can be very talkative and loud. (Sometimes I end up embarassing myself by giving my life story to people when I first meet them... I've learned to stop doing that.)

You're just shy. But the good news? You'll get better at it the more you talk to people. Every social situation is an opportunity to level up!
Several years ago, I hardly spoke to people at all. Now I have a group of friends and I can make small talk. You're not alone. :)
