socially inept people

Maybe that's just how you like to see yourself. Has anyone ever actually said that to you, or are you just reading into things a little too much?. I used to think I was weird, but now I look at those things as being quirks. Those are the things which separate us from one another and should be celebrated, not hidden away. I'm not gonna pretend I don't care what people think of me, because I do. But I'm not about to change myself to 'fit in' either. :)

In response to the OP - I'm much better suited to smaller groups. Large groups are far too daunting for me at times, and they only make me withdraw into myself and away from conversation. I'm an observer, and I like to get a feel for the people I'm with before I open up. I tend to have trust issues. But once I get to know someone, I'm fine. Suffering from anxiety complicates things for me somewhat though.

I tried telling him that he's not 99.99% of what he thinks but stubborn as a bull. lol.

IN response though to the OP - I am not a people person, its hard for me to blend with others, but when I do I get clingy at times because being so socially inept has made it so i hard to make friends because I just don't care PLUS social anxiety. I'm the one in the corner somewhere enjoying myself completely alone. Then when I find someone like me, I cling on and will protect them tooth and nail. If they hurt me physically or emotionally its 10x worse and im back to the awkward WTFBBQ?! stupidity of my social anxiety and not giving a shit and being socially inept again with them and everyone.

Not sure if that makes sense, best i can do to explain, me.
 
I've been told it. I'm rather grim and morbid at times, and it makes people uncomfy.

bah no not really. You're crazy sexy awesome cool like ive said before.
Then again most peeps are wussies. Fuck em. Just no playing chicken with me in the truck and we're cool ;) %) =D
 
Dante: You hate people!
Randall: But I love gatherings...

Describes me to a "T". I love a good house party, but I never really connect with anyone there, whether they're my friends or not. I always feel like an observer.
 
-> sending back to Homeless d/t drug use being a main factor in the original question. we're trying to keep drug-related topics out of S.O., as it breaks forum guidelines and has been a frequent issue lately.
 
I, too, am one of those people. I prefer to get/be high alone, but will tolerate one person's company at the most. I have a few very close friends as well as acquaintances I tolerate in "business" situations- not much else. I can't complain about the quality of my friends though.

To be honest, there is just not much I want to discuss with most people (with the obvious exception of drugs.) I'm not good at talking over the internet, either. I envy the shy people who discover the internet and actually have a great time with it!
 
I've suffered with social anxiety and depression my whole life...started gettin really bad to the point of total isolation when i started highschool. I am to a point now where I am most comfortable when I am by myself alone in my room. My friends think Im crazy. I love my introvert intelligent self however. :)

I was just telling crevan how to get your bayonet out when its stuck in a rib cage, by firing the rifle and blowing the bone away.

see, I am pretty fucking morbid.

Just morbid? Leaving out some "redeeming" qualities now are we....haha j/k

What's wrong with being morbid though? Better than being all lilly flowers and rays of sunshine out of your ass 24/7.

Hey just look at it this way, you must have some redeeming quality for me to like ya. I just hang with the super duper grape kool-aid people =D

.... then again I can be pretty morbid and perverse ....


birds of a feather as they say I guess .

shit sounds just like me....Doing H definately helped me distance myself from most social situations in general, which is to my liking :\
 
To many I would imagine drugs would be an escape from inadequacies, so social ineptitude would indeed be one among those many escapes to which drugs find their way to "help". It makes sense that many non-social drug users do so for that very reason; that they are ill-equipped to manage with what socializing entails.

This and....

opioids can help make up for lack of social skills, as can mdma. alcohol can also help. but these temporary fixes dont last forever.

They may not last forever but they can also generate changes for the better that last longer if not forever. Before my foray into the world of drugs I would consider myself a bit socially awkward. However, when I was high/drunk/rolling, in any manner of intoxication I was able to feel more comfortable around groups of people, talk to strangers easier, and just be much more socially adjusted. Over time I grew to be able to have the same positive and beneficial interactions with people when I wasn't high. I feel like I learned how to "interact" with people while intoxicated and that skill carried over into my everyday life.
 
I am totally socially inept. It's weird. I can't connect with people and if I start to I shut them off.
 
I'm a strange case. I don't think I have social anxiety... I don't get anxious or uncomfortable in public. I just seem to have an aversion to people who I don't know and aren't my friends. They annoy me. Who knows, maybe I'm just a misanthrope. :\
 
I'm the same way. I have few close friends because I have such an annoyance to people.
 
^ My sister recently asked me if I wanted to go to the mall with her. I said "no thanks", and she asked why.

I replied "because I hate people," and she gave me a very weird look. :\
 
haha I do the SAME thing. I just don't get along with other people. This site is living proof of that however how much I try I just can't. I dislike pretty much everyone, everyone dislikes me, unless they take THEIR time to get to know me. Because I will rarely take my time.
