For the aspie, there's no such thing as "awkward"?

For me, I don't consider anything anyone does as "awkward". People can do things I find to be "wrong" or maybe "annoying". Find all the words to describe people you want, but awkward is not in my list of vocabulary to describe people.

So do you consider anyone's behaviour to be "awkward"?

i consider awkwardness as more of a situation that exists between people. i "have awkward interactions" with people, which i don't think is bad, by the way. awkward feels like you're trying to confront or be open to something that's difficult or new. embrace awkward, i think.

Its only awkward around my dad...

The word "awkward" is overused and misused. I hate it. It doesn't seem to exist for me either.

I describe myself as an awkward person. ''Awkward'' is my middle name. That's a fact about me.

I don't really use the word much.

I guess the only time I've ever applied "awkward" to a person was applying it to myself for a few reasons. But I don't really think about it much.

Awkward is an awkward word.

Repeat that sentence ten times over and tell me you don't agree by the time you reach the tenth.

Sounds to me like the sound an awkward bird would make.

Awkward is an awkward bird word.

It's an awk-word.

Was that an awkward bird-turd I almost stepped in?

That would have been awkward....









*crickets chirpping*









Okay, I'll stop now.

I don't consider behaviour "awkward", but occasionally situations. For example, last time I told a girl my feelings for her, she was upset (!), so our conversations was awkward for a few months afterwards.

I exist on awkwardness.

I'm told I'm awkward, but I guess I don't think I am because one of the few things I actually find awkward is when people talk to themselves... which I don't do.

I don't feel awkwardness towards anything really.

I talk to myself, I act the way I want to, and I say what I want to regardless of this concept of 'awkwardness'.

Though I do avoid saying awkward things for those that seem very susceptible to awkwardness. Out of politeness.

Yeah I can identify people who show what NTs would think is awkward. But I dont view them as awkward, its sometimes a relief to see other awkward people because I dont feel so alone. I tend to be less scard of them then others because its likely Im just as awkward as they are.

"Awkward" means different things. It could mean a situation where there is the potential for embarrassment, or it could just mean someone is perceptibly uncomfortable with socializing.

I felt "awkward" last night when I went to the potter movie midnight showing and the people I went with ditched me so I spent the night talking to 18 year old lesbians who have had way more action then I ever did and the loved that fact.
