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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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 :)

I am the same way. Build your self confidence back up and you'll be ready to take on the world.

sometimes people can't help being socially awkward. I say good for you, OP. don't let these people calling you a loser get the best of you

Don't worry it can only get better. Just gradually come out of your comfort zone and eventually you'll be able to talk to people. I know what it's like man.

I know hoe you feel, don't worry I used to be that shy, but I started seeing a therapist because I didn't want to live my life like that anymore. Slowly but surely you will progress with being social. Don't lose hope :)
