I feel like this deserves some kind of “most ironic group” award.

Recently read this article about how to talk to socially awkward women, with advice provided by actress Brea Grant, a self-proclaimed socially awkward lady herself: http://www.ology.com/technology/how-talk-socially-awkward-women

Amen to #1, and usually I take it a step further and if you try and initiate a hug, I’ll likely dodge it
-
one of my coworkers is german and very outgoing. when she left for christmas break she pounce-hugged everyone…except me, because i was cowering in a corner. i just waved and that seemed to suffice. then she pounce-hugged me when she came back and i was like aargh

Ohmigod that totally explains how I am..I don’t consider myself awkward (maybe I’m in denial :P), but I do laugh at lots of unsaid things.

Okay everyone, let’s hear your worse social anxiety stories! I’ll start!
Once I was invited to a birthday party and I drove up and down the road the house was on 4 times before I gave up and went home. Because I was stressed that the bottle of wine I had brought wasn’t good enough, and because I was late.-
At my best friends wedding, I spent the entire time on the balconey of the venue, alone…getting drunk.
-
The girl I was in love with, who also happened to be a student teacher at my high school, was working a carnival I was working. Her being there, as well as the hundreds of parents and children in a pretty small space, caused me to have a massive panic attack which ended in my being rushed to the ER because everyone thought I was having a seizure.
-
At my best friends wedding his sister wanted me to dance with her.I told her it wont look good if my friend sees us.She never spoke to me since then.
-
I spent approximately 50% of prom awkwardly trying to find my girlfriend, who had deemed me no fun and ditched me, and 40% reading in the corner…
-
My mother wanted me to call my doctor to ask about an appointment and I was scared and didn’t want to and she kept pushing me until I broke down crying. (I have gotten a wee bit better about this since I stopped living at home, but still, I just procrastinated for a week because I was nervous about calling my psychiatrist.)
-
Reading all these stories makes me feel a lot less alone and unusual. This same thing just happened to me…I had to call my doctor to switch my prescription and waited two weeks before I had the nerve to.

I was going to ask a girl out from my math class out to the state fair. So I made her a bag of candy and when I went to tap her on the shoulder it was more like a really hard push and my voice got really low so I just thrust the bag of candy in her hand and walked off but she said thank you. SMH

Getting high and drunk helps.
But that makes me feel all kinds of dysfunctional :/-
Getting drunk totally helps, I’m very friendly and way more outgoing when I have alcohol in me.
-
Yeah getting high makes me totally outgoing and also somewhat nonsensical, so I end up making an ass out of myself. But if I’m only a little high, then I’m apparently hilarious/sociable. Getting drunk just makes me even more shy cause I worry about looking like a drunken idiot.
-
Getting High makes me stupid and getting drunk removes the appropriate filter from my mouth
-
I came out (NOT planned) after a whole bottle of tequila at a New Year party. I second that motion…
-
-
drinking does help the anxiety as far as being social, but i can’t stop. & i’m an emotional drinker, so when i’m upset, that trigger sets off a binge. :(
-
I have never gotten drunk or high in my life (I don’t think getting buzzed counts). I find it kind of strange, but, I never plan on getting high, and would like to wait until I’m a legal adult to get drunk. I wonder if there’s anyone else here who hasn’t gotten high or drunk
