Being socially awkward isn’t easy, especially in this modern, outgoing world we’re living in today. And here are the reasons why:

Everyone loves hugging each other
Since when did this become a thing? It’s impossible to make a quiet exit from a party anymore because the host is standing at the door with her arms wide open, waiting for a big bear hug. Personal space is at an all time low in modern Ireland – bring back the days where a quick nod across a crowded room would suffice!

Skype
"Let's Skype!" – no, let's not. It's so awkward. We don’t know where to look. And it's more effort because you have to actually appear interested aswell as making all the usual 'I'm listening' sounds. And you can't even hear them properly! Can we not just use our phones, like the good old days? We don’t mind the long distance charges, seriously, it’s worth it.

'Free hugs'
As we've mentioned, hugging people you know is bad enough. When some stranger comes towards you in the street with their arms outstretched, a big goofy smile on their face and a t-shirt emblazoned with 'FREE HUGS!', it's the stuff nightmares are made of. When did this kind of behaviour become ok? Damn those happy, free lovin’ hipsters!

Job Interviews
These days, it’s not enough to prove that you can do the job you’ve applied for. You also have to have some kind of elaborate presentation planned, with some hilarious jokes thrown in to show how outgoing and friendly you are. This is a nightmare scenario for any socially awkward person.

The voice recorder on Whatsapp
When someone sends you a voice message on Whatsapp, is it ok to just send a text reply? Or is that ruining all the craic? There’s a reason voice mails died out ye know!

Talking it out
We know it’s not good to leave things unsaid – but it is SO much easier! Everyone loves to talk things out these days, to “get it all out there”, but we can’t help but yearn for the days of brushing stuff under the carpet. Life was so much simpler back then.

There is always at least one in a group. The person that finds some certain social situations more difficult than others. There could be more the one. You could demonstrate certain aspects of it. Sure, hell, we have all experienced moments where we wish the floor would swallow us up. So, why not point these out to you just incase. Here are the Signs You Are The Socially Awkward One.

You Avoid People On Purpose
When you see someone on the street, you’re like a ninja in the night. You will even take drastic measures to dodge that person. You can hide from any walker by in the blink of an eye.

You Hate Talking To Your Hairdresser
You need to get your hair done but the thought of having to make small talk with your hairdresser pains you. They always have questions to ask you and a story to tell you and you don’t even know them! So. Awkward.

First Dates Make You Cringe
You can’t deal with first dates. Then when you do go on one, you don’t know what to say. You may eventually get into the swing of things, but for a good while you forget how to speak.

Touching Someone Else’s Hand By Mistake Makes You Cringe
It could be the innocent touch of a friend’s hand or touching someone’s hand on public transport, but whatever it is, it is never easy. The awkward banter afterwards kills you and you just wish you had never left the house at all.

You Hate Dancing In Nightclubs
Unless you are heavily sedated with Jäger, dancing is not your forte. You feel like too many people are watching and that you are making a full blown prat out of yourself.

You Talk To More People On Chat Than You Do In Person
You find it easier to talk to people on Chat and harder to have a one-on-one conversation with them in the flesh. You just find you are more vocal sitting comfortably on Facebook.

When Drunk All This Social Awkwardness Goes Out The Window
Once you are polluted with vodka or whiskey, it all goes out the window. You are the life and soul of the party and everyone loves you. You wish you could be like this all the time.
