Socially Awkward People: There’s no one quite like us when it comes to social awkwardness. We’re not all introverts; we’re just a small group of millions of ordinary individuals, introverted and extroverted, who aren’t great with other people. While we mean well, we have a tendency to miss key social indicators and even enjoy many social conventions. In fact, some of these cues and conventions may terrify us when we are confronted with them.
We still wonder ourselves, “why on earth am I like this?” as we navigate this strange socialised environment in an attempt to be “normal.” Despite the fact that science offers no actual explanation other than the response that we were just born this way, there are several memes on the internet that are creepily accurate in summing up what it’s like to be a socially uncomfortable person.
