The perks of not being me 1.0

I can actually come up with hundreds of advantages of not being me. Let me start with;

1. Socially awkward

"Hi, I'm Tiffany and I'm not able to be around people."

Sometimes I think I instinctively avoid being around people. It's not like I hate being around people, I just rather be alone (mostly...). And then I mope around for not having friends or being liked, serves me right, huh?

I just seldom ask people to do stuff together, I rarely text, I'm not on Facebook 24/7, I'm terrible at small talk, I don't know how to make funny comments, I don't have funny anecdotes to tell. I'm just really awkward especially talking in a group of people, I'm always the one smiling pathetically and swifting the weight back and forth with my feet. And now I'm beginning to understand that being the independent-headphone-girl is eventually going to be my death, at least career and relationwise.

The truth is I don't have problems approaching people, like talking to people I don't know or initiate conversations with people I know. I'm just incompetant when it comes to building up a relationship and surround myself with people.Why is that? How do you do it? Is there a Social Skill class I missed somewhere along growing up?

There you go, didn't this make you feel better? :)

Yours Sincerely,
Tiffany
