One day I can be really easy-going, sociable and everything and the other, I won't say a word and be the most awkward of awkwards... I honestly cannot truly say why, anyway I am sure a very reserved person rather than a shy one. Can't say I'm scared of people (I'm only scared of extra-extroverted people, they leave me SO uncomfortable), most of the time I simply don't know what to say. I'm really not good at smalltalk, I like much more when people take the time to truly talk and let things happen SLOWLY. Unfortunately, most of the people like fast & loud talking and it lets me uncomfortable and so... awkward around them, yes.
I guess I'm already too old in my mind for getting fast or loud! I like way too much calm and restraint people, who take the time to explain why they are passionate about something or anything. I get so easily bored with people who show you their whole character way too fast, I really don't have anything to say in front of people like that. I stay totally mute.
That is what I would call my social awkwardness, but I don't dislike myself for that - after struggling as a teen, I finally got that it would follow me my entire life and I'm way too bored to denigrate myself for that. I won't be friends with anyone, but that's finally fine with me.
