Why am I so awkward?
I am literally the living ball of awkwardness. No matter where I go or what situation I am in I can't help but feel this uneasiness sprouting within me.
For example, I am just walking in the mall or buying some food in the canteen (tons of peeps can be found in these places) I get totally conscious about myself.

Walking in the grocery store, I occasionally start dancing or pretending to be a robot. Listening to music in front of others, I tend to lip sync along and b...... reply
Awkward? I don't know if I am but I have hard time talking to others. My friends first impression at me is that I am cold or snob. I have negative way of thinking. I don't talk to others I mean I can't talk to them first. It is them talking to me first before I talk to them. reply
As others have said you might be showing signs of social anxiety. I can relate to you because I'm that way too. It's hard for me to socialise, period (Except with people I feel actual comfortable with wich are only close friends and some friends and family.), and I really hate ''social'' situations in general. Be it a party, hangout with a big grou...... reply
