I have come to realisation that I'm Socially Retarded.

SERIOUSLY!!! No joke!

I cant believe why so much has gone wrong in my social life since a little kid. Even today I have the same problems as a kid, where I would stick my foot in my mouth, stay quiet when I should be talking making it akward. I say whats on my mind at the wrong times or I really shouldn't even say whats on my mind. I suddenly burst out with silly but stupid sounds that I think are cool to me. I lack the wits to continue a smart conversation. I cant keep eye contact for long and it looks like I'm bored but I'm really not, but very interested in what they have to say. I constantly dose off and become distracted with my own thinking when someone is talking to me. I sound like an idiot who knows it all when I talk, but I'm just talking normally. When I ask someone for their name my brain doesn't capture it and in seconds I forget it, then I'm asking for it again, dumb me doesn't record in my mind, but I guess I just ask to be nice but dont find it important. Oh yeah I really dont find what anyone has to say important and it seems like I just stop listening. I seem to just want people to jump to the point instead of little chit chat. *gasp for air*

So its useless, I think I might have an illness or something. It seems like I havent improved since little. GOD I'M SCREWED

And yes I know I give the impression of a jerk.

hi 5.

you are really really really not alone on this one... god knows what would happen if a bunch of people like us met up, it'd probably be like the best dinner party EVER.

or not lol.

Question, what kind of people do you see daily?

Odd question to ask, but this seems like the classic case of not having things in common like. Take me for example. I was terrible at conversation up until about two years ago when I found interesting people with the same hobbies as me. Things sort of bloomed from there, I gained confidence, more awareness in people and now I'm easily able to direct conversations even when they don't interest me all that much.

'Smart, witty' conversations are held by people who know much on the subject they're talking about, or they've simply had practice talking for extended periods of time. Practice yourself, in the mirror, even if you feel stupid just to boost some confidence.

Most of all though, once your find someone who has something interesting to say, you will be amazed how easy conversation can flow.

Uhh.. welcome to the club! Lol. I think a lot of us here are social retards in some area of another. I have a habit of being too quiet and then people think I'm not listening or I'm bored. I just like listening to others talk more than talking myself. I'm awkward in almost any social situation and I'm pretty sure I sound like a idiot sometimes But I've come to accept that this is who I am and I've met people who are ok with that.

Well, I see regular people I guess. But that might be the problem, I'm very different than regular people, I'm pretty sure that my way of thinking and perception is way different than anyone I know. So that may be why I dont care much about what they have to say.

Glad to know I'm not alone

Hello my name is IVIZ and I'm a social retard.

From what you wrote, you sound like me. It's a good possibility that you may have Aspergers (Autirm) like me. A lot of what you wrote of traits of it.

I also suck at keeping a conversation and a lot of times I fail when trying to say some sentences properly. It's like when I try to say a word, I can't think of it and when that happened it's like my brain is jammed or something. Something I replace the word I should say with something else or make up a word and it doesn't make sense.

i'm always being called a tard at work, and some people get really viscious about it. i'd rather work with tards, than a bunch of people trying to constantly keep up some fake persona of perfection.

once i thought there was one person in the world i could trust and i said that they just need to pull the corncobs out of their asses. unfortunetly that person was another lying backstabber and told everyone.

as if that didn't make life more of a living hell.

i am also horrible with names. people hate me for that too.

good luck

Yea I could relate, my social skills is very underdeveloped as well. Other than my brother who knew me my entire life, I have problem communicating, my mind usually just goes blank when I have to search for the word I wanted to say, I have problems.

In fact I sometimes talk to my brother in fragments, since I just can't put whatever I want to say into words, but he understands because we've been hanging out all our life.

Hi
IVIZ, I'm a social klutz, too; I think it's just my personality. I'm 38 and have learned to laugh at my klutziness, though. I have a few close friends who share my interests but I'm still a weirdo sometimes. At work, we have a lot of gossipers, which I'm not into. So when I'm in a group that starts to gossip or starts talking about mind-numbingly boring stuff like what they like to buy at Safeway, I usually just walk away. Which probably comes off as rude but I just don't know how to gracefully bow out.
And I think if a bunch of people like us met up, it definitely would be the most awesome dinner party ever!

I'm a social whore.

Ask Sterls.

man, I do that all the time! it has been a recurring habit since elementary school. that, and spit raps i have memorized and can't get out of my head. like, whole songs! I wish I had memorized the multiplication table, or general mathematical equations or something useful. but no. it has to be KRS-One and deadprez tracks. --_--

but yeah. if it's any consolation, I'm actually, legally retarded lol!

as far as being socially so, you have my solidarity and utmost empathy!

Hah, I feel the same way. I just lack socially. I've never been someone who is able to understand, and comprehend what it means to be a sociable person. If I had an IQ for socialising I would score as low as it would probably go.

^^^That's a cool-looking blade, blue.

But I imagine it would be slightly unwieldy in combat. *shrug* I'd rather have two of these babies:

Practice helps though. I was kinda weird and awkward, but I was able to have a couple of long conversations while waiting at the vet office with my puppy today. I find, as time goes on and I have more and more random conversations, I get better at it.

I think I'll always have some problems because I'm just naturally introverted, but it's not highly noticeable to others except the fact that I'm quiet a lot.

Haha thanks. Yeah that weapon is pretty nice too. I guess no one will bug us loners if we walk around with ones of those.

^^^Hahaha yeah.

I am pretty useless at making conversation, online or in RL LOL. I usually stay quiet for fear of making a fool of myself, or because I feel like I have nothing worth contributing. I am also a pretty shy and awkward person, I often come out with really silly things, or if I do think of something to say my mind suddenly goes blank.
