I think I'm socially challenged.


Question Posted Wednesday April 4 2007, 6:39 pm

In stores I'm ebarresed to go to the register and to return things. At school I am constantly picked on and everyone in my school wants to fight other people if they stick up to them. So I usually sit there and take it and I hate it. I want to just tell them that they are immature and to go get a life. It makes me depressed and everyone thinks I'm a happy little preppy boy. I slowly am changing (I made my myspace background skaterish) Because I want them to know about how I feel about what there doing to my emotions.
PLEASE HELP :(

Heyy,
Aw, honestly, you don't sound socially challenged. I actually went through this kind of thing towards the beginning of the year, too. It sounds like you're a bit shy.. which is no problem.
In stores, think about WHY you're embarassed to register/return things? My friend gets like that, too, but think of this situation this way: these people working in stores most likely don't know you. Also, they honestly don't care what you do. I doubt they're going to go home and talk about some kid who came into their store who seemed to be nervous or something. Really, just think of the sales people as someone who dosen't know you, and wont see you again. Believe me, shyness can be annoying, but in that case, easily overcome. =)
I'm not sure why people make fun of others. It sounds so cliche, but people honestly make fun of others to make themselves look better in front of everyone else, and while there's not really anything to do to make them stop, you just have to know, they're being total RETARDS by doing that. You know you've got friends out there who care about you, and even if they don't go to the people giving you problems and flat out tell them off, they're still there if you need them. I wouldnt' say to sit there and take it all. Maybe go to another area, with different people, or just to say "Honestly, why do you have such a problem with me?" If it's because you're shy.. just go to one of your friends, or a nicer person in your class, and just talk to them. That will show the other people you really don't care. I just wouldn't reccomend starting anything back with them.. that just may cause bigger problems.
I'm really sorry they're making you feel that way.. I keep saying to go talk to your friends, because they're honestly my lifeline I go to, to talk to and everything. You dont' have to change your style, but if you do, and you like the style, don't worry if no one else likes it. When I went more 'punk' from prep, people didn't react well, but I also got to see who my real friends were in that situation.

A little advice a friend once gave me, Always be yourself. You may not make as many friends, but you'll make better, longer lasting, and more truthful friends.

If you need me at all, message me at my myspace,

I'll definitely answer, and I might be able to help in more depth if you'd be able to tell me more specifics, besides, I'm ALWAYS on, pretty much. lol.

Hope I've helped.. really, feel free to message. ;D
