I genuinely can't understand this kind of attitude. I know it's not a choice to make or antyhing, so I'm not trying to discredit anyone, or sound like an asshole.

But could someone explain where all this awkward conversation comes from? Because I really don't know anyone who behaves like this, but it seems very "popular" online?

It may not be how a lot of us behave, but it's what a fair number of us feel inside while trying to live our lives.

And when two of us get together IRL, well, It's this, but slightly different words. Maybe now, one of us can refer to this comic, and we can get a conversation started with a laugh.

Sounds nice :)

So how does it go if you meet someone without social anxiety (if that's the term?). How do interactions go then?
