Hi My name is Finley I am extremely socially awkward due to the following issues.
( 1 ) I am often in my own world.
( 2 ) I am terrible at starting convos and when I do I often stall ( meaning the words I really want to stay get stuck in my head like printing paper often gets jammed and I don't say the words and immediately give up trying to say them.
( 3 ) fearing that I don't look interesting or intrested in talking to - as sometimes I am in a room or space where everyone is talking to each other and not talking to me or coming over to talk to me.
( 4 ) intimated by the fact that there Is a lot of stuff that I feel like I should know about but don't because it doesn't meet my interests ( if you understand what I mean ) this makes me even more socially awkward because I can't contribute to something I know little or nothing about
( 5 ) afraid of making jokes incase of doing it wrong and fearing being laughed or mocked for it.
Has anyone else felt like this. if so how do you tackle this? thanks.
Hi thanks for all your responses so far. I have been patiently waiting for comments to observe, and I appreciate the time that each and everyone has taken out to reply. The reason for this thread is that I have a work party tomorrow. and I am wondering how to keep things flowing ( meaning not convincing myself that no one is interested in me so don't bother engaging if you know what I mean ) I have colleagues that I talk to on a daily basis and need to have plan just incase I can;t find them as quick as I think I will In my head. further advice on the original thread questions very much greatfully appreciated.
