This thread idea came to me when I was responding to a thread titled "what are you afraid of", and a plethora of tragically unavoidable social situations came to mind.

One of the most common ones I have to deal with is getting on an elevator with just one other person, I can NEVER think of anything to say, so I usually just start pretending to text someone on my phone before the doors even open... It's still awkward though.

Maybe I'm just overly self-conscious, but I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this, so does anyone else have an awkward social situation that they hate?

When you are staring at someone and they are staring backat you and you have nothing to say . I avoid this by not making too much eye contact with anybody

I hate it when someone makes me talk to a person/people I haven't talked to before. That happens a lot in school. Teachers do that to me a lot.

Sitting next to someone I do not know. Whether it is in class, on a bus, in church, or anywhere else, I always try to avoid sitting next to people that I do not know.

I also don't like it when I have to talk to new people I don't know, we mostly do this as activities in classes at the beginning of the year and it is kind of awkward and uncomfortable, but I guess it is their job to make us get to know each other even if we really don;t want to, and we probably won't end up talking to them ever again. 

That is the only thing that really bothers me, it is just a weird experience in my opinion. Especially when it is talking to people you don't know for the first time...So I try to avoid this with little to no avail.

Calling somebody by someone else's name, or thinking somebody is who they arent. For example, i once called my third grade teacher Mr. G "Auntie M", lol. It was so awkward. Or when you're in a public place, and you say "Hey, Mom!" And it isn't really your mom. Please tell me I'm not alone in this.

Popeye116 : No, you're not alone, Popeye. While I've never called my mother's name in a public place and it wasn't her, I have done it several times with friends of mine. I used to have a friend, and there was this other girl who lived in our Apartment Complex that, from a distance, looked exactly like her. So I'd call my friends name and it'd turn out to be the other girl. 

Other than that, here's an awkward situation I've found myself in before: A little kid walked up to me and started to talk to me, and he didn't speak English. T.T He showed me a bouncy ball he'd just gotten out of a machine, and I pretended to be fascinated by it.

Also: when you're buying candy or a gumball out of a machine, and a little kid walks up to you and asks you for one. :/

The social situations I mostly want to stay away from is people to tell me to do something to another person (more likely if it's negatively to them), or if it's something that's going to affect me and my life.

The awkward moments when you post on this site and:
it's unrelated to the thread
you forgot a rule
you put it in the wrong section
it has a different opinion from everyone else
the first thing you see reply to your thread is negative feedback
the guy who gave you negative feedback turned out to be a plagiarizer when you actually trusted him being the first guy to reply to you ever
you just plain overlook the rules of a thread
you thought you can join a thread when you really can't
the guy you asked to let you in wasn't invited either
you make a list of all these moments
you mention the awkwardness of the post and yet STILL post it

Having to sit by someone that I don't know. I usually just sit in between my mother and my sister, though, if there is either one or no one with me, I try to sit at the very edge that I can.

Um.....to talk to people I don't know. And having to socialize with people I don't know sometimes. For instance going to a party...or being next to someone who only think, negative thoughts and noting else.....that can bring you down on how they say things....That's why when I go out I don't talk to anyone. And just bury myself into my music.

I just don't like talking to anyone or being near a single person at all, unless it's a close family member, a friend, or a teacher at school. I simply try to ignore people when I go out in public by putting my headphones on and listening to the music in my mp3 player. I just don't like people at all...and I have no social skills either...

I guess for me it would have to be parties. I am generally a more shy and introverted person than some, and I tend to be more of a person who avoids social contact, but I do enjoy talking to people. When it comes to parties though, I never know what to do or say, and it ends up horribly for me, I don't know if it's just me, but I can never seem to party "correctly".

I am rarely ever in this situation because I am just an open type of person. I can't say this never has happened though, that would ruin the fun. The only time I have this problem is when, I am at a girlfriends house, with her parents. Yes I honestly can't stand it. They always want you to eat the food, and have a drink of water, or coffee, or tea! Sometimes I just want to be left alone, I'm always scared I'll say something wrong! Or when you are at a table with the mom or father, and they just stare at you like you are a lost puppy. It's the worse!

In public I usually get very timid and quiet...as a result of very heavy shyness. So in a very generic stance I usually don't try to get in the center of attention for the very fear that I may say something or do something very embarrassing or stupid.

I try to avoid a many social situations as possible. I'm really socially awkward, so I tend to make lots of situations awkward. Yay shyness and no social skills! The worst of it is when I order something at Starbucks, or anywhere really, and I freeze up when it's my turn. I tend to do that when talking to anyone...

Oh man, I end up making that same mistake a lot. I guess it's a common thing. lol
