Eh . This Is So Awkward . What Do I Do

Do girls like awkward guys?

Sometimes awkward guys are the cutest! Girls can tell that you're being awkward because you like them and they like that you like them and don't really care that you are awkward! Keep your head up! :)

I'm an awkward turtle around guys ._. Help?

One of the hottest guy i/med me and invited me to a keg! of course, i don't reply.
I don't drink, smoke or into doing drugs so i'm kind of isolated from everyone.
and the onces i hang out with are boring and..eh idk.
everyone thinks based on my looks that im a partygirl and crazyy! but i'm just a boring average teenager with no social life.
EVERYTIME a hot or cute guy talk to me, i'm either sarcastic( my secret weapon ) or you know..AWKWARD as fackkkk.
any advicee? ://
im 16, senior in hs. ;/

I have a fear of awkward silences and hate them?

DO'NT fear them. Laugh at them if they bother you that much! Point them out and say well there's one of those AS's again! We have to stop speaking sometimes. If that doesn't work use simple questions. Ask how people are, whats going on with their lives. Everyone's got something to get off there chest, just give them a listening ear!

Why am I so awkward around people? How can I improve myself?

TL;DR Think of awkwardness to be a disease , and awkward situations to be a vaccine. By infusing yourself with more social situations ( awkward situations for you ) , you'll ultimately kill the awkwardness.                             Let me tell you a personal storyIt's pretty normal , run on the mill kinds not the regular life changing stories you'll generally find on Quora.I am a pretty friendly guy and since my dad is in the Army , I've been to a lot of places and somehow met a lot of people. When I was 13 , I changed schools since my dad got posted to a new place and went to an all boys school. For 2 straight years , I was spending my entire day with 40 odd boys. For 2 straight years, I hardly talked to girls. I turned 15 and changed school again.I was now going to a normal co-ed school.I never realised that talking to girls would become a 'task' , an obstacle rather than a normal conversation.I spend one entire year being awkward around women ( very few of them realised this since I hardly talked to them , acted like I just wasn't interested ) I turned 16 ( decided I had to change) and forced myself to talk to girls.I make some of them laugh,I am sure I made some of them feel I was weird and I am also sure that I might have come off as a creep, because I did feel awkward.But I made friends. A lot of them. Most of them girls. I am 19 now. Whenever I tell people about my awkwardness a lot of them have difficulty believing it. But I know it was there and I know I've removed it , for good.The thing  about awkwardness , social anxiety , feeling left out and all sorts of things like that is that it harbours on your lack of self esteem.You develop that and suddenly you're the boss. Change whatever you don't like. Just change it. You think you don't look good , work out , make a change.You think you are lazy , just take the initiative , do it.You think you are less interesting ? Read, do things , make experiences worth talking about. You think you are awkward? Create more experiences where your awkwardness comes up. Believe me it'll start going away.BE RANDOM. DIVE INTO THINGS. YOU WILL COME UP

Do you ever feel so awkward around one particular person?

Yes, it's just a repetition of the same thought-patterns you had 3 years ago that keep arising when you see that person. You 'become' that person that you were 3 years ago and feel a sort of 'guilt' about having those 'problems' that you mention at that time. So even in the present, your brain 'switches it up' and takes you back to the same person you were 3 years ago when you see this person.

Here's mine. (A somewhat similar story although the time difference is much greater.)

In high school, I 'dated' a cheerleader; a very beautiful young woman named Jennifer, although she likes Jennie. We never had sex, just hung out and kissed a lot.

I was experimenting with drugs and alcohol at that time (age 17) and I basically 'screwed up' our relationship or whatever it was by getting drunk at some barbeque at her house.

I blamed myself for that for years. (and actually probably still do).

We lost contact for 30 YEARS. Somehow she 'found me' and we are best friends again after all that time. (And that's all, just friends, which is fine and wonderful. She's still beautiful. We're both 48 years old now, but she looks like she is 35 ... no kidding.) She helped me move into my new apartment last year. She comes to visit once in a while even though she lives 100 miles away.

And what do I do?

Yep. Get nervous. Because of what happened in the past.

Luckily, she is such a fun and easy-to-get-along-with person, my nervousness usually passes pretty quickly, within a few minutes. She 'puts me at ease' with her loving smile.

So there's my take on your question ~ seeing that person brings up one of your 'old' personas ... it takes you out of 'who you are today', at least temporarily.
