stop being awkward

Of constantly feeling painfully awkward. I don’t act it but always feel out of my element and there’s very little that doesn’t make me uncomfortabel.

I’m only fifteen years old and I recently started going to the high school. I used to be the girl who EVERYONE liked and enjoyed being around. My life was ideal. I had everything. Well since I’ve started the high school, it makes you feel so small especially because of all of the kids. I used to never have awkward moments and everything seemed to run smoothly for me. Even though I am a varsity/competition cheerleader, have the popular kids as friends, and a football playing boyfriend, I feel so small. It’s really hard for me, and I really hope I can get better. :/ This isn’t really on awkwardness but it feels good to get out.

I’m awkward at 25, and I seem to be getting even worse. Unfortunately the worse I get, the more horrible I feel about every interaction, and the more unnaturally self-conscious I am whenever talking to people. I need to fix this b/c it’s getting in the way. I’m not dumb, but I feel like I come across as stupid all the time b/c I can barely speak without stuttering something dumb.

I’m hopeless in all social situations, it’s not just with large groups, and it’s not just initially either, mainly because i never usually progress from this initial stage. But even when i know someone well i can be really awkward around them… talk just for the sake of talking, often senseless rambling, lie to make myself more interesting, and make some excuse to not have to see them. I wish i could just relax and be myself (whoever that is) somehow :/

it feels like my tongue is being choked up in my throat… i want to say something, but i don’t know what to say…

... i’ll just do it.

I feel the exact same way Drunkmunk. Until I get to know someone I am totally a different person. Dunno what to do about it :P

i try real hard.
but i can only seem to lighten up after i get to know the person
or if they are extremely outgoing

i have had trouble with this since i was even more of a kid than i am now

i am trying to come out of my shell.

I just can’t do it. I can not fake liking others. I am a terrible lier. I don’t want to listen to someone’s B.S. sob story. This is one of my biggest faults… if not the biggest!

I think too much about others and their perception of me. Someday… I hope… it won’t be as important. If err it was today.

I’m so sick of being awkard and shy.
