[@Ariste_]

As an ex awkward person myself, i can confidently claim that exposure is the best way. Just a few months ago i moved to another city ,where i knew absolutely no one, for high school. Not first grade but third so everyone had their groups. I remember how anxious i was the first few weeks, but still, i did everything i can to talk to people about things - little, meaningless things cuz appearently thats how small talk works- felt like hell but then i began to realize its not as hard as i thought, people are not really that judgy, they share experiences with me and they genuinely don’t care about the things that make me insecure. Now im almost a social butterfly in just a few months! So try to get out of you comfort zone as soon as you can, it will not be easy at all but will worth it!

[@orsemcore]

[@umloiro3219]

thanks for this :) I just thought I would be like this forever I mean, even if I become a social butterfly it would always be kind of "forced" and not natural.

Tip: do not think about how much eye contact you're making while talking with people, that's only gonna make you nervous, and then awkward

[@Ion-Luca-Caragiale]

Yeah, strongly agree, focus more on the conversation in general rather some of its foregoing aspects. Sometimes pretty gender makes you feel uneasy, but it is unavoidable. So, accept this and get use to it until you comfortable with it. Experience is everything, and so does the exposure.

[@jaxonmcalley]

Ok so for all those awkward ppl out there (and this is coming from someone that was/occasionally is still awkward), I found that I was super anxious and worried sm abt those awkward silences more than actually knowing how to continue a conversation. I got my first job in 2021, started off by not talking to anyone, and then slowly got more comfortable with my coworkers and just took a risk and started talking. Ended up becoming friends with everyone, became really social and talkative, learned how to continue conversations and keep eye contact, etc, etc. I think the best advice I can give to those who have paralyzing social anxiety is to just breathe and embrace it. Live in the moment and enjoy the conversation, and force yourself out of your comfort zone (as hard as it is). I feel sm better now knowing I can at least fake confidence even if I’m feeling super awkward.

[@YurikoKataoka]

Im schizophrenic which causes me to get super anxious in social situations but the thing you said is what I try too and whats helped me the most I am already awkward because of my disorder which is why most of the time people say I do drugs or so. Thats why I fear to interact with people

[@nefigarcia3673]

The hardest thing for me to do is to continue a conversation. When that happens I start to lose confidence and go back to being more awkward

[@kingpotato1022]

Thanks a lot

[@TheJuutuupperi]

Thanks for sharing, almost the same thing happened to me too! When I started at my job I was awkward and suffered from social anxiety I guess, and I chose not to talk to anyone. I just did my job and basically talked to no one and once the shift was over went home. This lasted for like three monts until I was like the heck I'm doing, I think it would make this job more bearable if I actually interacted with people. So just started talking to coworkers and it wasn't even that awkward, the conversations became longer and I made friends.

[@ellioni5883]

Thanks! My problem is my words just sound... forced, wrong. To me anyway, people tell me I'm nice and just "quiet". Sometimes getting every word correct is a struggle. Wish I could change that, but it just seems to happen

[@existentialbowlofnoodles2495]

It’s best not to overthink how to not look awkward. The best and only relevant advice is to first be confident which is its own complex issue and secondly understand social cues. When it comes to social cues it’s virtually impossible to achieve social fluency by consciously implementing “tactics”, this will lead only to even more awkwardness alongside a debilitating serving of social anxiety, believe me I’ve been there. Truly socially adept people are never stuck in their own head about how others around them are perceiving them, they are present and in tune with those they are conversing with rather than trying to control how they are seen. Now if your not naturally receptive of the necessary cues your either one of two things, severely autistic or lacking in consistent exposure to social environments, the latter is more probable. Best thing you can do is be around more people daily to train your subconscious mind to do the work for you so your conscious mind has room to spare for engaging the complexities presented in the mutual topic at hand. Social interaction is far too complicated to try and control, you must develop the power of your social intuition through the reluctant means of exposure if you ever want to attain charisma.

[@Justjoshin99]

This is very insightful, and I appreciate your knowledge on this topic. I myself am very awkward, it used to be a lot worse but as time passed and I had more exposure, it has gotten better. I have gotten myself to a point where I’m not necessarily content with myself but I know enough about social interactions to at least look ok most of the time, so basically I’ve gotten good at faking it. In order to actually feel less awkward all together, I haven’t really gotten that part down yet. I know it involves more exposure in regards to social environments but I can’t help constantly overthinking and over analyzing pretty much any scenario I find myself in. I constantly feel like I have to explain myself to people or make them understand me for me to be comfortable around them. I always feel like I have to tell everyone everything about myself upon the second I meet them so they’ll accept me and I won’t feel pressured by them to live up to their preexisting expectations. So I understand that I need more exposure and I have to train myself in those areas but how exactly do you propose I should confront the overthinking/over analyzing aspect of all this?

[@elbiballo]

[@schwa4883]

[@RodMigz08]

Having aspergers and social anxiety, awkwardness is a big part of my life. Im glad i can recognize awkwardness and try to avoid it (unlike others on the spectrum) but having to be constantly self conscious about everything takes a toll makes me feel like im not sincere. My aspergers Has made me Overthink basic social stuff and having to remeber every painful detail sucks but it has helped me sometimes. Having high intellect is a curse and a blessing because though im able to understand the social aspect of life to a decent level and aply it i never truly comprehend the why which can make me seem emotionally distant and ignorant of others perspectives. I hate being so shy and nervous.

[@soupster857]

I'm autistic and I think I'm fairly good at social stuff. some stuff that's helped me: 1) linking what the other person is taking about to my current hyperfixation or special interest 2) instead of making eye contact, I look at their forehead or nose 3) practising common scenarios in a mirror (job interview, small talk on the bus etc) 4) giving myself off time after a long day of masking/talking to spend time with myself in silence 5) finding understanding friends that I can unmask around (especially helps if they're also autistic!!) I'm very high-masking so I've been a social chameleon my whole life but when I get home I completely crash and go mute. It's okay to put on a pretend face for strangers and coworkers if you give yourself time to recover at home and with friends :) Hope this helps!

[@highenergy509]

being awkward is just an internal emotion expressed outwards

[@pixelatedgirl]

Also another way to be less scared of social interaction is to simply NOT care. Like just NOT give a fuck about what the outcome is going to be. So I recommend practicing on people that you don't really care about (in terms of how they perceive you or what their impression of you is). But again, I just say this because my entire social skills depend on the fact that I don't give (much of) a fuck about my image. The more you care, the more you're likely to fumble. BUT NOTE THIS--Caring about your image is DIFFERENT from wanting to make a good impression. You can always dress well, smell good, and smile and stuff. Those are things you CAN control. Most of what you say and DO socially though really can't be predicted after a certain extent and my personal method is to just YOLO it.

From when I was a toddler to when I was 10, I was probably the biggest social butterfly in my school, I talked to everybody, I got along with everybody (Mind you, this was in a small school in a small town in the middle of Cuba). Then I moved to a big city in the US and things here became so different socially. I learned english super easily but I could not for the life of me get along with anyone, everybody seemed so awkward to me, anti social even, so I distanced myself from people. Now at 18 and in high school, I only got 1 friend, I cannot start conversations, I'm not good at continuing conversations, I don't know how to respond to certain things or how to react to certain things and I also find moving my hands around while talking embarrassing. Sometimes I think it's because of my exposure to too much media or something like that because I know I don't have autism or adhd, and I have good role models at home. Talking with people sometimes feels tiring, like something that I wanna do, but I'm so lazy when I have to do it.

[@exstacc1886]

Look, I'm autistic, I'm NEVER going to fucking hold my eye contact. It makes me feel like I'm looking into hell Another thing about autism causing social "inconsistency", I understand. I feel like its correlated to accent changing, sometimes my accent changes from Midwestern to Southern depending on who I'm talking to, but it comes as naturally to me as changing my tone in a sentence I'm writing to capture a different audience, like writing in different genres. I always look for the right input to continue a conversation I thought about in my head beforehand rather than reading the room, and it leaves the effect that I'm completely oblivious (I am) of my surroundings. --Another (another) thing about autism is that its a fucking clusterfuck of different symptoms and some people who have Asperger's can seem like the most socially awkward people imaginable and they're somehow UNFAZED BY IT

Of course that's the treatment. Most awkwardness is caused by fear of rejection and social repercussion for decisions, words, and the way you act. The more you express yourself and see that people don't exactly care or will respond positively more than negatively, the more you can be comfortable being yourself and reading the room.

I’m in denial. While most would consider me an introvert, I’d like to think that I am a people person just waiting to pick my spots. I was socially awkward in school, and attempted to re-invent myself as an upperclassman. That carried over into the military, and then I returned to being awkward again. Turns out I was awkward in the military too, but luckily I ended up working in jobs where I had to communicate regularly so it was like verbal sparring until I broke my patterns. I worked hospital security, at a call center, and in health insurance (office job). Older people tend to want to talk so it made it easier to gain more experience. Soon enough I was ready to be a social butterfly within my own age group…. Turns out that I was in denial, still awkward. I’ve since made it part of my personality.

[@user-vx2ur4vw3h]

im always awkward when talking to someone im not familiar with so when i have to socialise with a new person I just ask them do they think im awkward and just say sorry.

I wanna make sure you can play along and be cool about it😅😂 I also can’t control my body when excited or nervous so I tend to be very skittish and jumpy like a child😂

Nah people like being around me I'm just bad at social cues and often miss moments but I'm actually more personable after getting a job tbf

I WISH I HAD THIS ADVICE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER BRO. Growing up with autism I learned a lot about confidence through my own social anxiety / awkwardness, and like, I'm at the point now where socializing is enjoyable, natural, and confidence doesn't matter cuz I just exist. Although it is a skill, and it goes away if you're not using it, this is actually good advice in the sea of bs

Cool video and editing too

I used to cringe so hard i squeal and fall to the ground once I leave an awkward situation or even remember it, now I’m starting to embrace my awkwardness, now whenever i do something embarrassing (it happens alot) i just say to myself “well that was awkward” or “Woah I did something weird why did i do that lmao” or “opps I’m not supposed to do that, oh well I’ll probably do that again in the future” and stuff like that which is making me accept the reality and move on alot faster.

When I talk to someone, we usually get so deep in some philosophical argument and move around so much we only look at each other sometimes and it works out fine. It doesn't matter who I am talking to, we will always somehow get to the weirdest conversations while on the move. We could be in the living room, I say something to my brother and boom, we are walking around the entire house debating whether or not tiny cows would make good house pets. I always thought of myself as an introvert, but I truly realize that I can literally talk to anyone if i try and get along super well, I just like avoiding it because of a few times where it doesn't work out.

[@oberlurch-handimations8628]

Smalltalk is easy, keeping the conversation running, that's the hard part.
