I'm awkward
I try really hard not to be
And sometimes I feel like I'm getting better.
But I'd say 70% of the time
My social skills are very below par, whyyy?
It's like my brain just randomly decides
''Hey yeah, see that person over there?''
''Ok so here's the plan''
''You're gonna walk over there''
''Everything gonna be fine for like 2 minutes''
''And then you're gonna say something completely stupid''
''And then cringe about it for the next 4 years''
''Ready? Now go!''
I don't really have a point of this video
I kinda just want to tell you guys a bunch of funny stories
I look back and facepalm that
Because I can get so socially awkward at times
It just happens randomly
And I never see it coming which scares me
Like everything's fine and all of a sudden
I'm hit with this wave of not knowing how to interact with people
Like boosh!
*giggles*
Ok so this one time
I was at a tennis match with this one girl from another school
And we were walking over to the court to play
But it was kind of a long walk
And I didn't want it to be like this extended awkward silence and weird tension
So I decided to try and make a little bit of small talk
sighs
I'm absolute garbage at small talk by the way
So if you ever meet me you have to carry that job for the both of us
Just a warning
So I kinda started a small conversation
Jaiden: So are you in your senior year?
Girl: No I'm in grade 10.
Jaiden: Oh! You're really tall for being in grade 10.
pauses
She didn't really say much after that
So I automatically thought I somehow offended her
By calling her tall or something like that
My brain was like '' Oh my God Jaiden!''
''How could you call her tall?!''
'' I can't believe you would offend her so badly!''
'' You have to say something to make it up right now or else
she'll be scarred for life because she's too tall!''
So I just blurted out,
Jaiden: Oh! But you're really pretty too!
Girl: Uh....
Yep I freaked her out laughs
It was meant to be like a compliment or something I dunno
But it came out really weird for some reason
And she probably thought I was like just a flustered lesbian or something
Not that being a lesbian is a bad thing
And then it was an awkward silence for the rest of the walk anyway!
Which is exactly what I was trying to prevent in the first place
So yeah I didn't even stop that from happening chuckles
Another time I was at the school dining hall with a bunch of friends
And they were talking about something I didn't really relate to
And I couldn't contribute much to the conversation
So I started just zoning out
You know when you start staring into space
And just get lost in your thoughts
Yeah
So I was doing that for a while
And I snapped back to see this rando guy across the room
Uncomfortably waving at me
Turns out as I was completely lost in my own mind
I was dead beat staring at this poor guy the whole time without even realizing it
I don't even know how long I was doing it for
Apparently long enough for him to feel like he needed to wave at me
And it wasn't like a little friendly wave it was a.....
''Oh my God why is this chick glaring at me so intensely
I need to do something..
Wave.''
And I was like
Crap *laughs*
This is awkward what do I even do
I can't just go over and explain
Jaiden: Oh! I wasn't intentionally staring at you directly in the eyes
For a socially unacceptable amount of time
In fact I wasn't even staring at anything
I was blind in that period of time
Because I was lost in the depths of my subconcious
Don't worry
I couldn't do anything
So I kinda just like looked away
And like stood in embarrassment for the rest of the day
And then there was this one incident
Where I was at this ''fancy restaurant''
Heh
You already know this story going down real fast
So I was at this restaurant
And I had my order in my head
I always do that
The ''repeat what I'm gonna say in my head a million times
So I don't mess up when the waiter asks me'' trick
I just feel like if I take too long ordering
Everyone's gonna automatically get annoyed
At how I'm holding everything up
Even though it literally doesn't take any time at all and no one cares
So the waiter got to me and I was freaking prepared
Waiter:'' Hello miss! What can I get you today?''
Jaiden: Hello! Can I get just get the penne pasta with tomato sauce please
That is literally word for word what I said
It was one of the simplest dishes on their crazy fancy menu
Compared to like the freakin' mumbo jumbo
Like ginger glazed Mahi Mahi fancy fromage a blanc
Or ''golden competta scapollo benne fenne bon' appetite sautéed in ketchup ratatouille''
But for some reason he was confused by my overly complicated order and asked
Waiter: Oh! Do you mean the four cheese pasta dish
With sundried tomato sauce and basil?
Jaiden: (in her mind) Uh...no
Jaiden: Yes
*sighs*
Don't get me wrong it was good
But freakin' *giggles*
I felt like would've come off as rude for some reason to correct him
Which is absolutely ridiculous
Because he doesn't care what I eat
It doesn't effect him in his life
And...by the way how in the world did he get
Sun-dried pesto five cheese pasta whatever basil
From penne with tomato sauce
I guess he knew what I wanted more than I did apparently
Well those were like three little stories I wanted to share with you guys
Just cuz' I thought they were funny and I think you enjoyed them
They're all a bit too short to make separate whole videos out of so yeah..
Unfortunately I have a bunch more little cringe inducing
Stories like these..so if you want me to tell you more in the future
I don't know like a part two or something
Just let me know and yeah
If you enjoyed them make sure you share them with your friends
Or I don't know share some of your own little stories
In the comments and stuff
But anyway thank you for listening to my little stories
Hopefully you enjoyed
And I'll see you later
Byeeeeeeee!!
BlackSen: Oh! You mean the four cheese pasta dish

Sundried tomato sauce, basil, oregano, deep-fried, with a gluten-free
Spinach sautéed with cranberry oil with 19 different kinds of peppers
