awkward

I would describe myself as socially awk­ward. I know I’m not the only per­son on the inter­net that is socially awk­ward but some­times it feels that way. I had hoped that social media would help me be more socia­ble but instead most days I still feel like I’m on the out­side look­ing in. I know that to get beyond this feel­ing I need to jump in but mostly it feels like I’d be interrupting.

It is hard to watch a con­ver­sa­tion flow and feel that it is ok to jump in. If I were at a cock­tail party and I jumped into a con­ver­sa­tion it would prob­a­bly grind to a halt. I know that to get to know peo­ple I need to jump in but some­times I’m not sure how peo­ple will react so I hold back. Blerg!

I’m not sure how to wrap this up. This has been on my mind quite a bit lately and I thought that writ­ing about it might help but I feel extremely self con­scious and I’m temped to just delete this.

So does any­one else think that “awk­ward” looks wrong? I know that if you say a word too many times it starts to sound weird but awk­ward just looks awkward!
