goodmorning

Often times I feel like I have no social skills. I am very sarcastic, TMI, and blunt, even when I am having a casual conversation with the checkout girl/guy or an old friend from school. For example...
Old friend from school (who I really want to be friends with): Yeah, I am working at the new burger place.
Me: Oh really? I have heard from a few reliable sources that their food isn't very good! What do you think?
Old friend: Uhm... I'm not sure. I think it's ok?
End conversation.
Or another example:
(scene: vets clinic)
Handsome man: Oh whats that in the box?
Me: My little feline friend. She has a bad case of worms!
End conversation.
I am trying to be very conscious of what I say, like saying "have a good day" back to people instead of just nodding, but things like this just slip out. Oh, the misery!
