Uncomfortable
 
Is there anyone who you converse with that you feel uncomfortable talking to? Like you can't be yourself? Also, if you don't want to mention names, you can say types of people. Like, if you felt uncomfortable talking to Chibi, then just say OC mods or something. This can be IRL too.

Um, for me I guess people that seem popular.

Oh, gosh, hun. Didn't know you felt that way about me.

Um, no. I'm myself around everybody, lol.

Dawn May 12th, 2010 8:20 AM

Yeah...
Totally.

Let me think of the types of people I don't feel right talking to.

1: Anyone with a superior attitude: That just gets my chaotic nature boiling.

2. Self-Righteous people: I constantly feel as if these kinds of people are hopeless and I'm better off not saying anything.

3. Homosexual Guys: No offense... As a girl I just feel sort of unwanted around homosexual guys. This does not occur with bi guys.

4. Overly sexual people: Yeah, I get nervous and freak out around anyone who acts like this. I'm a genophobic, I swear.

When my RL friends (keeping in mind I go to school in the Bible Belt) start talking religion, it unsettles me a bit because they're hardcore. And on this one forum I quit awhile back I had to pretend to like certain people on there that I honestly wanted nothing to do with.

Pretty much this for me also, I don't know why, but I just don't act like myself around these people.

Mattysaurus May 12th, 2010 2:15 PM

*looks around*

Nick said I acted a little weird when I was conversing with Morluka. I felt kind of intimidated. ;;

don't hurt me ;;

EmeraldSerenade May 12th, 2010 3:04 PM

Adults.
I feel like I have to act proper around them, which seems to be the case most times :-/ I need to show that I do have manners.

Sexual Things.
I just give people the ._. face when we talk about stuff relating to that... Its really awkward sometimes...

Mods on Here.

^^

RuRuBell May 12th, 2010 4:44 PM

I feel like this around everyone to some degree. The only person I'm 100% comfortable around is my sister. But yeah, probably the most uncomfortable group for me is girls my age, especially those that are attractive/popular.

Around older people/authority figures I put on a really polite/innocent/sweet facade.

Harmonie May 12th, 2010 7:22 PM

Everybody.

I can't really be myself with anybody, because "myself" is annoying. I won't have a single person I can even pretend is a friend if I be myself. And there are also aspects of myself that many people just can't accept, so I can be myself there either. D:

Chibi-chan May 12th, 2010 8:30 PM

  • Parents of friends - I'm always afraid they don't like me >.>;
  • Friends of friends - I just get this competitive feeling. Either that or I'm afraid they think I'm trying to be competitive :P Depends on if I've known the friend longer.
  • Flirty people - I'm not a flirty person, so...I feel awkward.
  • Sporty and hot guys >.>;;; - I-I don't feel like they want to talk to me! They're too cool...
  • "Gossip Girl" girls - cause I instantly label them as the highschool "2kewl4u" type girls. And skanks.


Fyi I'm the only OC mod so that would still mean me...

Eeohnex May 12th, 2010 8:46 PM

I feel pretty uncomfortable around people I just met (specially girls). Maybe it's because I'm just starting to know them or maybe I'm too worry about making a great impression, I honestly don't know. Sometimes it's awkward when you are having a great conversation and then suddenly silence kicks in, I hate that feeling, specially when you are having a date.

I also feel pretty uncomfortable being the third wheel when I'm hanging out with friends.

BHwolfgang May 12th, 2010 9:38 PM

I feel really uncomfortable when talking to a strict, gossipy, or shady person. When talking to one of those two category, I would have to watch what I'm saying at all times. One might not know if they might use your words against you or not. That, or they could just spread an edited version around school. If I somehow got caught in a conversation with a douchebag, it would feel awkward because I don't associate myself with that kind of people.

Besides that, I can talk to everyone else.

Sammi May 12th, 2010 10:35 PM

In general, people I don't know well (or at all), and/or people in a higher position of any sort. Typically there's a lot of overlap if it's a person of higher standing, because 9 times out of 10 I don't know them very well if at all. It's kind of intimidating, knowing that they have more power over me than I can dream of, and I don't want to offend them at all. .___.;

The awkwardness is x10 if I have to speak to them about any sort of serious issue instead of small talk.

Eternal Nightmare May 12th, 2010 10:57 PM

I'm comfortable around everyone I talk to n_n. Maybe it because I have high confidence in my self. However, there are some topics that I will get uncomfortable around <_<.

Ayselipera May 13th, 2010 11:04 AM

Well the one generalized statement I can think of is intimidating people. Which is a poor example since if you're afraid to be yourself around someone then they must be intimidating in some way. I just can't think of an actual group of people I can't be myself around so I'm going to stick with the term intimidating.

Sometimes I shy away when it comes to people who are hard to read. This happens a lot online which I think is a bit silly since most of the time I live hundreds of miles away from the people I "see" on here. Still I can't help, but get shy or intimidated because of the fact that I can't see them and I have to base what they're like off of their posts alone. Which I'll admit there have been many times where I have gotten the completely wrong impression of someone on here just from reading their posts and maybe lurking over their profile. :3

In real life I'm way more likely to approach and be myself around others, especially when I have the company of a good friend with me at the same time. Overall I think it's really weird that I'm semi shy in real life and extremely shy online. I guess there have been weirder things though.

Porygon-Z May 13th, 2010 11:16 AM

Children and Old People.

Children are unsettling because they don't seem to be in control over their own voices.

Old people are unsettling because they can't hear you so they'll carry on talking regardless of what you say. In the off chance that they do hear you they won't understand and they'll just hear what they want to hear.

Children and Old people should just talk to each other and leave every one in between alone!

Zebeedoo May 13th, 2010 11:51 AM

Just guys in general I feel umcomfortable around. xD

Honest May 13th, 2010 2:12 PM

Hmm, some specifics:

Katie! I just can't talk to her normally. I must be extra sweet. =)
Borey, too. We're in a bromance, so to speak


Otherwise... eh, must agree with Nica. People who look popular.

Sydian May 13th, 2010 2:18 PM

I feel uncomfortable talking to people that are mad. Cause then I get mad, and they're already mad, and I don't want any madness.

I also feel uncomfortable talking to people that you can just smell uprising tension on. No thank you. I don't need any bs right now.

Kura May 13th, 2010 2:19 PM

When people talk about drugs in front of me. I don't do the stuff nor like the stuff.. so it makes me very uncomfortable.

Rucario May 16th, 2010 5:08 AM

Those people IRL who have a strange obsession with Lady Gaga. Especially the men. It's creepy. No offense, but I can't concentrate when they have everything Lady Gaga on. o-o

Arma May 16th, 2010 5:45 AM

Most peopple in my class listen to metal and rock, I'm the only one who listens to reggaeton, Merengue and or forms of latin music. If they're talking bout music and usually don't what to say. same thing goes for food, I'm from Suriname, but I live in the Netherlands (Most Dutch people in my school tend to dislike foreign food), if I talk about things like crisps made from bananas ( and I take a pack of those quite often to school) people all start acting like I'm eating dog**** or something.

Amaruuk May 16th, 2010 6:45 AM

I think it's impossible to not be myself. Even if I wanted to I couldn't suppress 'me'.

In any case, I'm very prone to awkwardness. New people, especially ones who are more talented/geekier/more socially adept (or all three) are kind of intimidating. Closed-minded people tend to maximize difficulty in conversing, and in general I just stay out of it because I'm strongly opposed to pointless arguing.

In the past, crushes were the number one cause of awkwardness. It was like those guys in cartoons that try talking to a hot chick and all they can utter is gibberish, except reversed. It was especially frustrating since I place a lot of importance in conveying my intelligence when I talk. This did not occur when I had a crush on a friend, though (but plenty of awkwardness still ensued during that time).

Melody May 16th, 2010 9:22 AM

I tend to get uncomfortable with people who I don't particularly know well, unless I'm just in a friendly and good enough mood to get to know someone.

Among others, people in power are sometimes tough to talk to, especially if they have too much arrogance in their tone. o.o (Seriously, arrogant people make me bark...a lot. Essentially bringing out my worse side, which isn't really fun for me.)

People who simply seem condescending. I don't tolerate being talked down to no matter where I might be on the structure, it pisses me off. I can deal with authority as long as they're polite and understanding.

All of that being said, people who know me and constantly catch me on a bad day and KNOW that I'm in a bad mood are the hardest to talk to. x3 (especially if I'm uncomfortable around them for any other reason)
