<p>I'm not? The reason is, and this is gonna sound really weird, but many times in a conversation, someone will say something, usually like a joke or something, and I'm left there not knowing what to reply, so I just kinda smile and force a small laugh, which makes them look at me kind of weird. Also someone will say something, usually as a diss against me, in a jokingly playful way, which I totally get that their joking, but I don't find funny, and they repeatedly say "Just joking bro". </p>
<p>Also, I noticed that what most people (the popular people) at my school find funny, I absolutely don't. For instance, this really popular girl was asked a question about Japan, in AP History, I think it was along the lines of "How would you describe Japan as a nation", she replied "It's like an island...because ummm it's surrounded by water...and has lots of sand...and yeah, it has many ports...sooo....", and everyone laughed. There's a lot of people who find this type of humor funny, I call it "stuttering, bull*****ting around the tree" humor. She's also quite smart, mind you. </p>
<p>Anyway, my point is, to the people in my school I seem like a socially awkward outcast, but I'm actually more "normal" than most of them.</p>
<p>^Haha, sorry, I just felt the need to rant.</p>
<p>^Haha I guess I misused “normal” then 
What I meant though is, I started talking to this really popular girl on MySpace who randomly added me, I had no idea who she was, we lived in different states, but I could tell she was popular by looking at her pics, and who was in them. Anyway, after about 2 hours of talking she started saying she loved me and that she wishes we could be together, after only 2 HOURS. Haha, I would never dream of saying that to anyone I haven’t been close with for at least a few month, in person.</p>
<p>What is it with the people on this board? For gods sake this is not a therapy-forum for every person with a different kind of humor or even wit-reaction-style.</p>
<p>I’d rather b*tch my problems on here than to someone I know in real life and make myself seem even weirder :P</p>
<p>So, wait, isn’t the story you described the definition of socially awkward?</p>
<p>Well, the average person is probably focused more on themselves than others. Meaning, if you’re not reacting the way they wanted you to, to a joke or something–they’re probably thinking there’s something wrong with them, not you.</p>
<p>I’m guessing. </p>
<p>And if they are thinking that it’s you, well you can rest easy because it’s probably only a fleeting thought. Most people aren’t going to waste to much energy puzzling over your inability to appreciate their bad jokes.</p>
<p>“what most people (the popular people) at my school find funny, I absolutely don’t.”</p>
<p>^True that. I’m amongst the popular group, but I still have no idea why they laugh over those jokes.</p>
<p>Maybe I’m just weird. :/</p>
<p>damn these potato chips are tasty</p>
<p>That’s not socially awkward at all.</p>
<p>You may appear socially awkward, but i find you real 
You act like yourself, you don’t try to be someone you’re not. Like that smart girl you talked about. She probably tried to sound stupid so others won’t think she’s a nerd or w/e.</p>
<p>^ Budding CC romance.</p>
<p>The first step is denial.</p>
<p>^^^ bow chica wow wow</p>
<p>I don’t believe in online romances/relationships :P</p>
<p>True love conquers all adversities.</p>
<p>Then too bad it’s not true love in this case. :)</p>
