Basically, I'm extremely socially awkward. However, through years of practice, I can make my awkwardness comes off as "charming" or "mysterious." But I'm never actually comfortable in my own skin (being myself). I never know what people want from me. I NEVER expect to be memorable. I'm always surprised when someone remembers my name, and therefore, I never make an effort to remember other peoples' names.

In fact, I've created a system using my full name versus my nick name. It's almost like having a "caller ID" for people in real life. If they call me by my full name, I know I wasn't comfortable with them or I met them in a professional capacity. If they know me by my nickname, then I liked them or met them through my family.
