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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Pushover
United States
Started from the bottom, now we're here
Today, I actually felt good after being rude to someone. My avoidant personality disorder and social anxiety have made me like such a goddamn pushover that standing up for myself in any way, right or wrong, makes me feel proud of myself. FML

Where am I?
Today, out of desperation, I had to fight my social anxiety in order ask a stranger for directions in a new city. She gave me a detailed answer, and I thanked her, then walked the wrong way for 15 minutes because I was too embarrassed to admit I’d understood none of it past the first sentence. FML

Keep out
Today, my social awkwardness got to an all-time high when I hoped that I wouldn't get the job that I applied for, because I'd be working with the public. FML

At last! Well done!
Today, I finally realized how stupid I am, when I answered a question correctly in class and my teacher started clapping and cheering. FML

Today, a cute guy complimented me on my legs. I, being the awkward person that I am, panicked and replied, "Thanks, I grew them myself." FML

Today, my social anxiety is so bad that the mere thought of talking to anyone, even someone who isn't even real, makes me feel ill and uneasy. FML

Today, I realized that my somewhat flamboyant behavior may have given people the wrong impression when my classmate tried to set me up with one of her male friends. I've been trying to work up the courage to ask her out all semester. 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 :)

What do you mean?

Asking them if they would mind not standing on your feet doesn't constitute a question. But seriously, build on that pride and go strike up a conversation with a random person. It will do you the world of good... and if you make a fool of yourself, well then you will never see them again.

I don't wish social awkwardness on anyone, but it feels good to know others are like me - I have to go to the store now, and it's not as hard knowing that others will feel like I do~ Oddly, I used to be pretty self confidant . . . OP you should be proud. Keep up the good work, you are inspiring

Social awkwardness is hard to overcome, but at least you're trying! Be proud of your accomplishments.

I suffer with the same sort of problems too so I say be proud of yourself, and just keep edging away at that social awkwardness one step at a time =)
