Socially awkward people usually have a close circle of other like minded friends that they have a nice time with. Not everyone is, or wants to be, a social butterfly.

Speaking of socially awkward, DH and I appear to be the only daycare parents not interested in becoming BFFs with the other parents. I've mentioned before they have all these trivia night fundraisers. But there's honestly not a chance in hell we are gonna spend $50 on tickets, plus food, drinks, and babysitter pay to hang out with people we don't know. I mean, I have friends. If I organically became friends with a daycare parent because my kid is friends with their kid or something, fine.

We also have a private Facebook page and several people posted multiple pics from their vacations saying "little Danny is having fun, but we're missing [daycare name]!" The last place we think about on vacation is our daycare. I can't tell if we're assholes or these people are insane.

Well, part of the problem is they don't seem particularly friendly. It's like this weird clique thing. Both DH and I have basically been ignored whenever we go to "muffins with mom," and "donuts with dad" type shit. DH talked to a dad who literally didn't respond. So, this colors my views. But I also accept DH and I border on socially awkward. Also, assholes.

I have a love/hate relationship with having a cleaning person. I ABSOLUTELY love a clean house, but I get anxiety before they come about my house not being clean enough, and frantically putting everything away.

When Reese was diagnosed, my parents decided to pay for someone to clean every few weeks to do a deep cleaning of the floors, kitchen, bathroom and her bedroom to make it as germ free as possible. I love a clean house, but still...

I'm with you @HilarityEnsued‌. I could not care less if daycare moms ignore me. I'm not in the market for new friends honestly. If it happens, it happens.

Stunningly, I'll turn to Seinfeld here for my general attitude: "You're a nice guy but I actually already have three friends. I really can't handle anymore."

[Deleted User] · July 2014

I hate to say it because it sounds ridiculously pompous but DS is the popular HBIC at daycare. This forces us to befriend the other parents. I am enjoying getting to know a new group of people.

However, all the parents I talk with are insanely friendly so I am sure that helps.

Confession- I wish my kid was a little more shy though. I don't want to deal with random strangers he befriends at Target.

[Deleted User] · July 2014

I feel awkward having someone clean my house. I have no idea why.

Exactly. Or most of their friends live on the internet.

Stop talking about me, @Sundae13

The cleanness completely overwhelms the awkward feeling for me.

I also find cleaning cathartic. I am odd.

littlestjerry · July 2014

I'm pretty sure DS has no friends at school. He's so shy. Plus, those older kids ruined his life for weeks. He's carrying on our rich tradition of being anti-social.

SuperTreesa · July 2014

I feel like too many people are using the "I'm an introvert" excuse these days to just be rude jerks.

I'm not talking about most introverts. But specifically people who straight up ignore calls, texts, emails and invites.

My UO: I don't think Jamberry nails look great, and if one more person on my news feed starts selling them, I'm going to scream (sorry to FB friends who sell, I love you, I really do). I extend this Scream Threat to Pampered Chef, Thirty-One, Stella and Dot, etc etc etfuckingc

Jamberry sucks big time. It lasts exactly 45 minutes for me. No thank you.

NotSharknado · July 2014

Just because a puppy nips/bites doesn't mean it's going to be a bad dog. Educate yourselves. Dummies.

Also, just because I'm boarding my pup this weekend to host a very large BBQ does not mean I can't deal with the obstacles that come with having a puppy.

My sister is an ass.

Anytime I hang out with people, I have a great time, get in my car and immediately assume I was a total moron and they hate me. This includes any ladies I've met here.

It's odd because I'm a fairly Fuck You, I Rule person in general, but I get weird in groups of women. IDK what it is.

I am the same way in groups of women. Sometimes mixed crowds and other people will have this affect on me, too. I am really bad about overanalyzing every little detail of a recent conversation/interaction and convincing myself that I am horrible and unworthy of friendship lol

NotSharknado · July 2014

It never occured to me that having a pup was like having a baby when it comes to everyone's unwanted judgemental advice. Fuckers.

rin89 · July 2014

Joining the socially awkward club. Do we get t-shirts?

I'm on a nail kick, apparently.

Same. I'm convinced Laurelbee thinks I'm an ass after our meet up.

NotSharknado · July 2014

I have very low tolerance for people, I do not do well with a lot of friends.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing in this life that won't invite unwanted judgmental advice from Fuckers.

I was challenged on my selection of Secret deodorant over Dove by a total stranger. I shit you not.

Did you back away slowly, giving them the stink eye? I think that's what I would do in that situation.

Yes. M14 is designing them as we speak.

I'm not socially awkward I just don't like most people enough to spend time with them if I don't have to.

In that case we should also make a super secret FB group, with super strict posting minimums. Oooh, we should also start WKing people who want to open a DC in the home of an RSO!

I wish this was true, but WWII. Genocide is a pretty good reason for war.

The Just War Theory is valid. It isn't pretty but diplomacy doesn't always work. Sticking our heads in the sand doesn't work. Letting atrocities happen to people is unjustifiable.

Is war awesome and something we should jump into feet first? No. Is it never justified? Also no.

I have no fucking idea what jamberry nails are... I thought it was a color of nail polish. I'm assuming I've missed the mark.

Clearly you have better FB friends than some of us.

It's strips of nail polish (typically ugly art) that "sticks" to you nails forever. Except it doesn't.

I have lots of Jamberry feels.

msdrdg · July 2014

I am super sarcastic and super shy so social situations are a mess for me. I spend 99% of the time in a corner and 99% of the people don't notice/care.
I have 0 IRL friends and 1 or 2 internet friends. I am socially pathetic.
NE GTG girls, sorry I'm gonna try, but I'll probably be the looser in the corner.

I don't want this for my son. The fact that he currently hides behind me whenever somebody (even somebody he knows) comes up to him breaks my heart. I want him to have friends, I want him to be comfortable in social situations. I want him to be happy. I don't wan him to be me.

More of a confession than UO o-well.

This is me. I have no interest in a large social circle. I have a very tight-knit group of close friends and i love them dearly. They know me quirks and tolerate my insanity.

I feel sort of strange about poeple that are true social butterflies. It just feels so superficial.

Also, I'm not overly concerned with my kids being super social, but I do feel it's highly important to learn how to navigate the societal norms of where you live. A lot of times, super intelligent people struggle with this, so we'll definitely focus on that with our kid(s).

------------stuck in box----------
I laughed at this last sentence then was like "oh crap, what if she's serious??". I am not good at reading internet tone.

theseaword · July 2014

Seems like all the NE get together girls are claiming to be awkward. Maybe we should sneak in some booze.

Eta: women, not girls. Cone of shame.

I have no idea who/what this is but I thought you were professing your love for your Dyson vacuum... in which case I was like ME TOO

Are they really that awesome? I feel like it's time for a new one. We've had ours for 4 years and I'm not sure it's doing as great of a job as it was when we got it.

I've had my Dyson for nearly 4 years and I'm not that big of a fan. I want to get a Shark once my Dyson inevitably shits the bed.

I put my UO in my "Walmart vigilante" thread, but I will place it here as well. If I saw someone stealing a cart full of groceries and baby stuff, like diapers, I wouldn't say a word. If I did anything at all, I'd go buy them a gift card or something.

me too. I would NEVER rat out on someone stealing food or other necessities.
