I showed up, I looked, I made it awkward.
Posted by VioA few days ago I had to fill some forms for professional matters and I came across a question about social skills.
After briefly thinking about it, I realise my social skills include:
- Telling inappropriate jokes in awkward situations;
- Laughing when I shouldn't laugh;
- Enthusiastically saying hello when introverts walk into the same elevator and terrifying them with lively small talk for at least 3 floors;
- Naively pointing the elephant in the room when everybody is avoiding it;
- Asking the waitress if the chocolate mousse is homemade only to turn it down when they proudly confirm it;
- Saying "you too" when the stewardess tells me to enjoy my flight.
- Asking the 14 year old kid who is trying to mug me if he is old enough to be drinking.
Yeah. I don't foresee a very bright future ahead of me.
