Why am i socially awkward around my friends all of a sudden?
How old are you? I think this is common in teen agers or pre teens, as they become more self conscious and worried about what others think about them. I wouldn't worry that it's just you either, don't put yourself down like that. My advice would be to just be yourself and don't worry too much about others. Maybe you need to find some new hobbies or sports to share with your friends, or maybe it turns out that you just don't have a lot in common with your friends and you need to join a club or group an meet new friends who share your interests and passions. I sometimes feel like this with friends that I see all the time. Sometimes we've just run out of things to talk about. The following web site has some good advice too.
I have no friends in band and am socially awkward?
Hi, I'm in marching band and I don't have many friends in the band. I never really even realized until lately. Ok I play trombone and I have 1 friend and 1 acquaintance in the brass section. My friend has been my friend for 2 years now but I'm starting to think he doesn't like me. When was at band camp I never really got to know my section or even any of the older kids (I'm a freshman). I just sorta hung out with my freshman friends (who all play clarinet) and when they were with their section I just stood alone or was with my one friend who plays tuba. I don't think that he ever was even my friend though cause when we met I sorta just was with him because I was trying to make friends. He might not have even wanted to be friends with me. At a football ge the other night I went over to him instead of standing alone the whole game and he told me to leave him alone and he pinched my nipple. In my band we usually split up the brass and woodwind most of the time. Last year I was pretty popular and was sorta the leader of my group of friends. But most them moved away or don't have any classes with me this year. I sit at a lunch table with some of my aquantences but I don't talk to them because they only talk about video games that I don't play. I've made a couple of friends this year but only a few. I don't know how to make friends with the older kids in band because I've ignored them for so long they probably assumed I had other friends. I'm also terrible at talking to new people
Why am I so socially awkward? I can't make friends?
When people around me have conversations I just feel so out of place. I usually don't have anything to say unless I'm asking a question. I'm the type of person to just go in, do my job, and leave without any unnecessary interaction. I'm rarely spoken to, but when I am, I don't usually comment or initiate discussions (sometimes I do, depending on the personality of the person and whether they would be interested in the comment) unless the other person asks me a question; in which case I will answer and maybe make a relevant statement. Basically I socialize like a robot. A lot of the time I just don't have anything to say and I'm at a loss of how to respond other than simply smile. This can't be good for me, as I have no friends and everyone who tries to befriend me I feel loses patience with me and stops talking to me after a while. This is how I naturally am, more action-oriented than anything. What should I do? No one likes me.
When you're socially awkward, how do you make friends?
People are attracted to good things, so share kindness and appreciation. If there’s something about them that you enjoy, or impresses you, then compliment them on it. If you’re enjoying the time you’re spending with them then appreciate their company.This lets people feel recognized and appreciated. It also gives them the opportunity to return the favor. The people that appreciate your efforts and return your kindness are the people that will be the worthwhile friendships.Conversations can be very challenging when we feel like we have to entertain our conversation partner. Instead of being an entertainer it’s easier to be an explorer that’s looking for what we find interesting about them.I work as a Life Coach that specializes in Relationships and Communication.

Do socially awkward people deserve to have friends?
I don’t know why but the word ‘deserves’ bugs the snot out of me. Here goes. No one deserves a relationship with another human being. Now, are you asking if making friends with someone who is socially awkward would be worthwhile - sure! Just remember that someone being socially awkward or socially adept doesn’t speak to what kind of friend that person would be, I really hope you don���t think there’s someone somewhere who is deciding who does and doesn’t deserve friends. To be serious, if you are socially awkward and lonely, I know how you feel. I also recognize that many times I’m the one who slowly disengages from the friendship. So maybe just go places (library) where there isn’t a high an expectation of extreme social interaction. I found that I’d run into extreme extroverts who for whatever reason liked hanging with an introvert. The more pressure you put on yourself to make friends, the more difficult it will be.
Do socially awkward people make better friends?
Not necessarily; they can be loyal and true, but extroverted people can also be loyal and true. I often worry that if I befriend a person with almost no other friends, they may only want to be my friend because they are desperate for a friend, not because they genuinely like me as a person. However, if my friend is social and bubbly, I know they like me for me since they take time out of their busy social schedule to spend time with me. That said, many socially awkward people can be loyal and true and funny and entertaining and just all-around great people once you get past their outer shell. So there is no cut-and-dry answer, it depends on the person

My brother is very socially awkward and has no friends. Anything I can do to help him?
My brother graduated highschool this year and he claims to be job searching but I doubt it. Ever since he was little he was very shy and never liked talking to new people. He talks to the rest of my family and I without a problem. All he does all day is play video games, watch tv, and do chores when ever needed. He says that he likes to be alone but I just think he is in denial. Does anybody else have a sibling or anybody close to you that is similar?
