I AM AWKWARD. I am a really good "people-person" or whatever, and am easy to get along with, but sometimes words don't always come out of my mouth the way I want them to. Sometimes I say things that I think will be funny, but no one laughs. Sometimes I act like I hear what people are saying, but I really never listen. All of these little things I do cause me to end up in really uncomfortable situations. I smile awkwardly to hide the fact that I'm awkward and it makes things worse. When no one responds to something I say, I respond to myself and people give me weird looks. I am that person that will go in for a high-five without getting one in return. I am that person that trips over my own feet and will look around to make sure no one saw. I am that person that will answer a question with a completely different topic because I didn't hear it correctly.
Next time you have a conversation about your weaknesses, be honest. Because while you have a weakness, you have plenty of strengths to fall back on. But I don't so I'm still going to hate myself. Find the positives about yourself and hold onto those when you're struggling to be happy.
