Moments of social awkwardness to share?

Same! A lot of people tell me I look Chinese and when people come up to me to speak Mandarin to me and I say I don't speak it they give me this slightly appalled look until I tell them I'm not Chinese XD

Also back when I used to work in a thrift store a lot of older men would approach me and their ice breakers were always saying "Nǐ hǎo" followed by asking my age and then following me around the store for a while =.=

Every waking moment of my existence.

One time in my college days, it was the first day of the semester. The professor instructed us to go in the front and introduce ourselves since it's a speech class. Then after that, we took notes and important stuff like class's syllabus, and we even have a short lecture. It took like an hour and a half before the professor finally took a roll.

Sooo, what's the awkwardness? I found out I wasn't part of that class and my real class was next door. FFFUUUUUUUU!!!!!

About, gosh I forgot how many years ago maybe junior high? I had gotten obsessed with the games Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh back when it was Pokemon Gold and before the Yu-Gi-Oh anime started getting spinoffs. My entire thought process was taken over by trading card strategies and I'd had this huge three ring binder of cheats for the video games.
. . . I'd talked people's ears off on Gaming stats and strategies for about three years.
. . . My family almost thought I was secretly worshipping the little monsters when in reality I got swept in and immersed myself in the stuff like one would immerse oneself in a good book. Apparently I didn't know I needed to expand my range of hobbies.
It's not until I sat alone in my room, realized how much of a weirdo I'd been and subsequently switched to toning my love of anime down a notch or thirteen. I started reading Manga instead.
Jing the King of Bandits is a lovely series. They even come with super shiny book covers that can flash signal the teacher of who's reading in class. By high school, I was the kid who learned to hide my comic books in front of a text book because if I took the book out and the cover is bright and shiny the biology teacher took it away.

we are very awkward people these would be so funny if they were made into comic shorts hahahahah but i dont think these are as bad as my awkward moments (i dont want to say s lot coz im hella embarrassed so ill say the most recent one... the first thing that pops in my head when i read the word "awkward" )

okay so i was walking alone in the hallway area trying to find my friends, as i was walking a saw my friend going downstairs at the end of the corner but there a boy walking at the same hallway where i was walking (i didnt quite notice him coz i was distracted finding for my friends.) so i ran towards my friend with my arms spread open and screamed her name, i dont think she heard me coz i have a soft voice. When i was running i noticed that the boy was looking at me like he was kinda laughing but i didnt really care coz i didnt know why he was laughing. so the next day i realized that he was kinda of popular and that he and i were in the same class in a subject and so he approached me and introduced himself.... he had like the same name as my friend.... BAM
UGGHHHHH asajhskjdfkls ughhhh whyyyy LOrd why did u create me like thisssssss what did i do to deserve this
im a fckin loser ughhh

also im the type of person who doesnt tell people i like anime and manga and so i drew on a piece of paper some realism and inside there was a type of fanart and yeah so i dropped it and lost it then my friend said that he saw it with someone so that person was my friend...friend idk what to call him... and hes sort of a weaboo idk but he likes those stuff too but ughhh he was the worst person to find it, it was like he was pretending he didnt know what was in there...
theres a lot of times i try to find it but im not too successful...

I accidentally apologized to someone while opening the door for them. This has happened multiple times.

I was playing with my friend's cat and said "Lick me" in a commanding tone. My friend's back was turned, she didn't know the cat was in the room, and she got startled and confused because she thought I was talking to her.

So I've only been on a date once in my life and it was horrible....But luckily I never saw him again... Right?

So today I ran into him at Walmart. He was like "Hey, you look familiar." Me (with much shorter hair) just looked at him weird. He said, "Have we met before?" I then said, "We have met but I prefer not to acknowledge it." And just walked away. I hope to god he didn't remember.

That's similar to my original post but like, from another perspective. XD I guess it's better you don't run into that guy again huh?
