Need observer to help me with social awkwardness issues

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I'm a 25 yo marketing analyst -- successful -- educated -- well adjusted -- and so forth.

I'm usually socially graceful, but sometimes I seem to exude traces of awkwardness. I oftentimes feel that people misread my tone and expressions.

I'd like for someone (or a small group) to go hang out with me at a bar or some social event. Please analyze my mannerisms and other personality quirks. Afterward, I'd like for you to help me understand your general perception of me and perhaps offer ways that I can adjust and optimize as needed (for business situations, for personal life).

This can be reciprocal. In fact, I think this might be rather offbeat and fun.

Thoughts?

I'd rather do this with someone I don't know rather than one of my friends (who would likely be biased and untruthful).

I'm Southern California, and you should be too.

Interesting, I think I have the same problem with people misinterpreting my expressions. Are you in the OC, SD, etc?

Guys you're human, sometimes humans are awkward and often they're misinterpreted. Don't fall for some sort of interpretation delirium.

I'm in Orange County. OC/LA/SD -- I suppose they're all within range.

Social awkwardness is my middle name. Ninety percent of the time, my mind gravitates to things of a sexual nature. It doesn't matter if I'm talking to a friend of mine or my academic advisor. However, I find that when the stakes are high, I somewhat regain my composure (I.E. can't be talking about sex when I need to find out how many credits I've completed). Try adopting a "do or die"-type mindset. And don't be you too much,
