Today, my social-awkwardness is so bad, I was actually proud of myself for managing to ask someone a question. FML

I'm just like that. But be proud! It's baby steps, and before you know it you'll be able to do anything :) I, unfortunately, am not able to ask a stranger a question yet. But once again, baby steps! Good luck :)

Aww. Well, the important thing is to take baby steps, and not be too hard on yourself.

I'm sort of the same way. Hated talking to people over the phone, asking anyone for help, physically being too close to people, etc...I still have problems with standing too close to people. Keep at it op!

Me too. Can't stand the phone unless it's someone I know really well.

64, i agree. But usually (like with myself) logically knowing that people aren't gona judge doesn't help. You're still terrified of getting that perspn's attention. And the more outgoing the other person is, the shyer you feel.

You're right on, 102. It's an irrational fear. And people who are overly outgoing intimidate me xD

Same here. Phones... No. I'd rather text.

Someone: "Hi" OP: "Did you know that it's the quiet ones you usually have to worry about?"

This reminds me of a joke: Q: How do you know you're dealing with an extrovert engineer? A: When he talks to you, he stares at your shoes instead of his own. So, OP, what kind of shoes was the person wearing?

You should be proud! Social awkwardness is a pain but the best way to get through it is to keep on talking to people even when you aren't feeling confident. I speak from experience.
