Are you awkward?

[doglove]

Tell me your personality. Lately, I'm feeling a little bit on the awkward side. 

[cuddlyevil]

Sometimes I'm awkward, but I'm an inherently social person so chatting/schmoozing is almost second nature to me.

[starrieskies]

I think it depends on the situation. At work I'm good. Idle cut chat with random people, no problem. However if I feel like I'm in any way the "center of attention" I get all kinds of awkward especially if a cute guy is involved.

[Muddled]

Yes.

[Chirp]

I'm awkward and clumsy. But I'm also funny and really good at laughing at myself... so at least I have that going for me.

[tiramisu]

I'm pretty awkward and am good and trying to fill a void in a conversation with my nervous energy and so just chattering on about myself, then feeling like an idiot for talking so much about myself (or doing that "me too!" story share as an awkward attempt to bond). Or I'm sarcastic and they don't realize it. I do better with people who are higher energy in conversation, if it's randoms, because I have less to do.

[dixienormous]

Awkward, clumsy (physically and verbally), and just an all around dork.

[partiallysunny]

You think? I'd describe it the way.chalupa describes it. I'm also really bad at small talk and run into things. I don't fall down, just bump into all the things.

I'm often awkward. I think the root of it is that I'm not always feeling chatting, plus I have a pretty strong sarcastic streak. So when someone doesn't know me well, they don't take my sarcasm as humor, and I wind up feeling like I just need to stick my foot in my mouth and disappear.

This is me as well. I'm kind of a dork, too. Although people have told me that is endearing. 

And, you know what? I think all you bitches are liars. Because I've met almost all of you and NONE of you are awkward. 
/gavel. 

[mags]

No, I don't think so.

I talked to someone yesterday who sounded exactly like you. I kept waiting for her face to morph into yours.

[gault]

Depends on the scenario.

[Emerald1486]

Yes! I am also a social person, which makes the awkwardness worse at times. I'll start talking and not always know when to stop. And I'm a klutz.
Luckily my friends all know me well enough that its not even acknowledged if it happens. So if any of you meet me in person...I'm sorry.

[udscoobychick]

I'm totally awkward in that I'm shy. I'm awful at talking to people that I don't know well (and sometimes at talking to people I do know well), so I much prefer to keep to myself and listen, rather than talk.

DH is the opposite, but still can be awkward--he LOVES talking to people and meeting new people, but he sometimes misses social cues, so that is occasionally awkward (especially when I pick up on it, but he doesn't!). In general, though, he helps balance me out and helps carry conversations so that I don't have to when we're interacting with new people. It works out well.

[motzie]

Only when I'm with new people. I tend to be quiet except when I'm with family and close friends. When I have to try to be social I feel like I converse awkwardly, especially if I feel like I have to lead the conversation. I have been told I carry myself very elegantly, so I usually just stay quiet so I don't fuck that up.

Somehow I am totes the family clutz though.

[SwimDeep]

Not only am I awkward, I have the kind of awkwardness that makes everyone else feel awkward and uncomfortable too. I don't know how I do it.

[margarita]

God, yes, especially with our neighbors or anyone I don't know very well. Small talk makes me painfully uncomfortable. I just smile and nod while internally screaming.

I'm also a klutz. It's pretty speshul.

[kaneen]

I'm sorry but not one of you seemed awkward at the GTG! The fact that we were all so comfortable together right away was one of the reasons I loved that weekend so much. Then again, maybe that's because we all "knew" each other already?

[Wrath0fKuus]

We've met; you know I am.

[captainmel]

I am awkward in weird ways...

I have a SUPER expressive face so it sometimes communicates my inside thoughts too easily. I am full of judgement and I don't like stupid people. Everyone knows when I think they're stupid.

I run into things a lot.

Sometimes I say things and realize that I shouldn't have said that. Usually because it is a really embarrassing story about myself.

This is me with facial expressions. I've had to work to keep my face still.

shhh it's a secret

[esdreturns]

I am completely awkward and can be super shy. I hate it.

[smock]

I'm awkward because I'm ridiculously bad at small talk. In one-on-one conversations I can't figure out what to say or what questions to ask. Unless I'm drunk; then I'm awkward for a different reason.

You remember when you picked me up at the airport in Providence and we were driving back to your house late at night and I looked at the clock and was all OMG ITS LIKE 1220 AM AND ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 

<) (gift) I do remember that! Fun times!

[bowies]

So, so awkward. I'm uncomfortable around people I don't know well so I royally suck at small talk and then if I do feel comfortable then I just run off at the mouth. There is no happy medium with me. Sometimes I'm in a mood where I can fake-it-til-I-make-it (thank you sorority life) and other times I just hope other people don't talk to me.

[riverpestie]

YES! I am very awkward!
