Awkward Girl Seeks Friends
I'm starting to wonder if I'm as socially awkward as I feel. For years I have felt that I was pretty good at faking it until making it but now I'm starting to feel uncovered. Remember that I hosted a neighborhood potluck and lots of people came? I thought that once we had a chance to sit down and talk and break the ice, my neighbors would be friendlier to me. Ironically, the only one who is being nicer and more talkative with me is the one neighbor who didn't come to the potluck. It got even more awkward at the bus stop because I'm thinking that we're all friends now but no, there are still four ladies who stand in a little square every day and hardly talk to anyone else. There is no breaking in, just me standing uncomfortably near their square hoping that they will say something to me. It is way too awkward to just bust into their little square and they make no effort to include me or even be friendly and say good morning. So, I've stopped going to the bus ...
