It is no secret that I am an awkward person. I am dripping with it. I breath it. If you have talked to me, you could probably see it spewing from my mouth.
That is just how I am. I'm awkward. I am learning to accept it.
I have mentioned some of my awkward mannerisms before.
The one part of this that I haven't learned to deal with very well, is watching awkward or tense things happen.
I can't do it. I can't watch. It makes me SO uncomfortable.
I am not just talking about watching that girl walk down the street thinking that everyone is checking her out, when really she has a trail of toilet paper fluttering behind her. Yes I turn my head aside and cringe. But I am talking about movies, T.V., books.
I can't even handle awkwardness in non-reality.
I really enjoyed The Office for a while until I realized I spent more time "getting a drink" when Michael Scott was doing something abominable, than actually watching the show.
I actually get anxiety. I can feel the anxious juices start flooding into all of the corners of my body. (I don't mean that to sound gross. Attaching "juice" to something seems to make it a little on the gross side. Beg your pardon.) I leave the room, close the book, tell husband to inform me when I can watch again.
I think I may have coping issues.
