So you think you can socially akward.

Actually I'm quite socially competent. Infact I'm told that I'm really good at it, ever since I've been little. But today I just entered the club of every meme that indicates that you're fucking up in any kind of social situation. I have no fucking clue how it happened.

So me and me friends had been to see a movie. We had all split up and I was waiting for my bus. Then someone I know turns up with her little sister, who is 14 i think. It turns out their bus isn't due for about 30 minutes. My bus is like 2 minutes away but I tell a white lie so I can stay for 25 minutes.

I've met this girl and her sister a few times before and the older one of them is really fun to be around so I felt it was a great time to cement a friendship. For the first 15 minutes everything is fine, talking about random shit having a good time. Then suddenly my brain starts going into shut down, for no reason.

It all starts with a really stupid lie. Both sisters say "I suck at maths". And they start talking about how easy math was back in like grade 7 and that it sucked in highschool.
Well I don't suck at maths, I think it's boring but I am good at it and I took courses for all maths classes available in highschool and I pretty much breezed through them. And they know that I took that many courses so saying "Yea, I'm pretty bad aswell I barely passed" was fairly retarded.
But they just play along, not making the situation akward. So after spending time talking to the older of the sisters since that is the person I am interested in actually being friends with, suddenly my brain goes "You better talk more to the younger sister to not be rude" which is fucking weird cause I've never once hade inner monologue like that during a conversation before.

So I very overly dramatic turn my head towards the younger sister. It turns out she is taking something out of her bag bending over facing away from me and she is wearing very loose pants so half her arse is showing. That itself isn't weird, if you turn to someone to say something and they are busy, you just turn back to the person you're talking into and continue the conversation.

I don't do that, I panic. I know the older sister is looking at me when i turn to her sister, and that for some fucking reason shuts down my system. Instead of doing the normal thing, I act as if I've been flashed in the eyes with a laserpointer, being about as subtle as a unicorn.

Did it just get colder? I got paranoid as fuck. Never happened in a social situation before but I got real paranoid. Did she think i turned to her sister just because she bent over? Did she think I think I did something wrong because of my retarded reactions? Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.. ect

Did the conversation just get alot staler or is it just my brain projecting? It's probably nothing just keep it going, oh great the sister has fetched whatever it was she was fetching out of her bag and joins in the conversation again.

So the conversation flows on for another 5 minutes and the topic became alcohol. And I turn to the younger sister to say something incredibly witty like "Herp derp you don't drink do you, you're just a kid" oh I am a master of the spoken word. And she is grabbing something out of her bag again, and this time her pants are down by the god damn ankles, it's a straight up panty shot.

If I took a picture, framed it and sent it to Japan they would go "This is an excellent panty shot, we need to hire this guy for our future needs of reference pictures of underaged girls panties"

My brain is trolling me hardcore allready so I'm just let out this sigh.
The moment I do this my brain starts trolling goes;

"You shouldn't have done that."
"Why not, I'm dying here"
"Yea, but grunting could be considered sexual"
"What? that was a sigh, not a grunt and there was nothing sexual about it."
"Well, duh I know that I'm your brain, but does she?"

Is there a blizzard around?

Coldest fucking 3 minutes of my life. And I don't even know if it was cold or if my brain just trolled me. To the older sister it could just have been an ordinary conversation, fuck if I know, I don't trust my brain anymore.

At this point I just start chuckling, not a massive chuckle just a very small one cause I couldn't catch a break. I was just going to have a normal conversation with two very normal people, and I may have made someone think I like little girls. As far as conversational fuck ups goes I feel it ranks fairly high up. Set out for some friendly banter and end up looking like a ephebophil. Looking back at it I find it hillarious as hell, but I also lament the people I know that end up in socialy akward situations on a daily basis, cause it was not fun at the time.

As usual my blogs have no real meaning and is mostly to let out steam.

Uh... sometimes everything just goes wrong. When it happens all you can do is manage the best you can. Worrying is what made it as bad as it was. Keep in mind things usually don't go that badly XD

Yea, that I get. I really feel for those people now. Sort of like when you have no food at hom, but all stores are closed. So you start going "Man I now I really know how bad it is in Africa".

Just laugh man, laugh your ass off!

I am constantly in situations like this, my brain only seems to work when it focused on a single task. Too much input and it buggers off. Honestly though laughing like a madman defuses the situation. People just think your nuts

If they want to know why your demeanour bares a striking resemblance to the joker, tell em you just realised that you are making absolutely no sense and you find it hilarious.

At worst you leave with a smile on your face

That was hilarious.

Well, maybe she will forever only be your Felicity.

But yeah, sometimes I feel like James Bond but other times my brain would just be blank and I would talk nonsensical things while sweat is pouring down my brow.

this happens to me in almost every conversation, my mind cant flow correctly, maybe i worry too much about what to say. i try to say random shit in my head just to get thoughts going, but when conversation comes, my heads thick as a rock. practicing to get better though..
Please excuse my English as I am an American on the internet.

I am a man of many bandwagons, if something happens once I'm the kind of guy that prints T-shirts and gets the stickers.
It is not my intent to piss people off that actually feel it's a problem for them.

If you can think of it all as a joke in retrospect then you're good to go.
The problem is when you're lying in bed at night, and those awkward moments from years ago keep popping up in your head and you can't get them to go away. On the average, I've gotten better at blowing off awkward moments because, really, the only person who really remembers them is myself. But still there are some moments that will haunt my memories forever.

I used to be like that, but 'I sort of grew out of it. It's the past nothing I can do about it now,
