When you’re the socially awkward one

Other Socials:

This is me. It hurts less knowing I am not alone.

[weloveprincessdi]

That’s more the left out friend or third wheel than socially awkward

[sincerelysarabeth]

Damn, this actually hurt. That’s literally me my entire life

[char]

Yeah this is me then I don't talk and I get asked "Why are you so quiet?? You can contribute to the conversation" then I try and this happens again 😒 and ppl wonder why I'm "quiet" 😂

[squiddlebeans]

The last part hit HARD dude 💀 people have made plans in front of my face & acted like I wasn't there (I am no longer friends with them, drifted apart but at least I'm happy)

[LoveLiyaa]

THIS IS ME BRO LIKE I ALWAYS BE LAUGHING EVEN IF ITS NOT FUNNY 💀
“I like when theres only two on us”
Baby im not here im just a hallucination

[eglev]

Yeah, this is not even social awkwardness, it's just that the other two are not paying attention to 'you', tbh. If you're asked a question and not even given a chance to respond, that's not social awkwardness, that's the others being assholes.

At a point, when people just essentially close me out of a conversation, I just go silent and sit there. But since it seems pretty clear that I’m not part of the equation for having fun with friends, they don’t often even notice. Eventually, I either join in again or I just leave. They never question it. :(

It's exactly me in group settings. I am a person who gets overlooked all the time while other members making plan for themselves without me. I have experienced that kind of piss take so many times that I feel safe only in one-to-one meetings. So relatable.

[DragonCheeseLover]

This is me too because I’m not chronically online so I have NO idea what they’re talking about since they’re all on Tik Tok and I don’t have it

[DanielleBaum]

i was also told to "speak louder" ... even though then they just treated me like I was yelling, got mad and walked away or ignored me. people can fucking suck

[TheCumberCoIlective]

That's basically just them ignoring you too. Sad

[bree.pelcher]

People in my friend group think I’m the “quiet one” but then I try to contribute into the conversation then I’m always getting left out but like I’m not trying to be the quiet one😢 idk if anyone else can relate but it happens to me

A couple of things I have learned throughout my life with these types of situations,

1) they either don’t care to be around you, but they just need you to be there.

2) they are just aggressively loud and just don’t pay attention or the fact that you talk soft, it happens no biggie.

3) unfortunately, it’s really hard to try not to be so awkward about things and social situations. Eventually, in some cases, you will become more comfortable to be able to acknowledge your voice a little louder, and have a good conversation with people. If not? Fuck them because you know what they’re not your friends to begin with

This reminds me of when I was in school and they'd side-eye me and say "just ignore her so she'll go away".

Feels bad man

[spursstarwarssupernova]

It’s not so much that she’s socially awkward it’s more that she’s being ignored and constantly interrupted 🥲

[oliviapedersen]

This is literally me with my old group of friends. They would make plans in front of me and I’m like why are you talking about this when I’m right here

[micahfwank]

*me trying to talk with my friends*
*them talking over me*
me: “IS IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO NOT TALK????”

[blissful]

Your full attention is one of the most highly valued gifts one can can give to others. 💜

this is literally me whenever i’m hanging out with either friends or family, i’ll say something to break the ice and the room will just go dead quiet

sometimes it feels like i’m literally just talking out loud to myself
