I have become so socially awkward over the past few years. I don't know what to say to people or how to act. I try to be funny but it ends up hurting people. I just prefer to be alone then with people and my dad is a strong believer in social skills and behavior. but I just cant do it. I truthfully don't like people. I do talk to people from school threw texts and sometimes in person. but im more comfortable alone and that doesn't happen in school. I prefer to stay in my room where I feel safest. I want to socialize with people but I get really nervous and I start to sweat and stutter. its strange. I used to be a social butterfly but after my year with depression I found myself not knowing how to act around people. I mean I do go over the fire station and talk and laugh their but they are like family to. its just with people my own age. I don't like them. they are just to cruel and immature for my taste. its strange though

Do you feel you may be forcing yourself on people, or trying too hard?

I am just like you. (Sorry for bumping this thread) I know I'm good enough to order food in restaurants or talk over the phone (to buy things) but I'd never chat to anyone if I didn't have to. There's just no appropriate place to do it in. If I needed help in my studies I'd know who to talk to. I am aware that one day I'll no longer be studying and will have to look for a job, so...

Why do you feel more comfortable talking to older people? What makes it more comfortable?

Older adults, in general, or just people that are even a little older than you?
Is a lot of it do you feel that your same classmates do not understand you? __________________ Believe you can and you're halfway there.

Do you feel it is because they are more mature or do they project more maturity to you?

Perhaps you are more mature than most kids your age as well, then

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
